Hello
I am terribly disappointed in the bittorrent, I had heard it would be
faster then getting them off the mirrors so i fired it up and it nicely
told me 1 day and 22 hours to go.
Also be aware that many MSO's and ISP's are deploying mitigation
appliances (e.g. Sandvine) in their networks to mitigate P2P to a
substantial rate decrease. Also, Sandvines can limit the number seeds
per client, just an FYI.
I'm currently getting < 5kbs off bittorrent, other torrents have not had
this problem (~60kbs, which is what I limit to). It might be someone
else saturating my upload bandwidth (shared ADSL), but with other people
complaining I thought I should mention it.
