Or are others > noticing the slow performance? It all depends on how many uploaders are servicing how many downloaders, and it can change drastically during a download. For example, when I pulled down Fedora via BT, the download started at around 22KiB/second, then went to around 80KiB/second for a while, then finished up at around 40. This is still slower than I've seen on BT--I pulled Severn at well over 120KiB/second. Could be due to an initial rush of people downloading and not leaving their client running afterwards. -- Tim Lesher <tim@xxxxxxxxx> http://www.lesher.ws
