   that.

Shaw Cable in Canada provides Extreme Internet in a few of the major
cities using Docsis modems.  This increases downloads by approx 2MB/s
and increases the uploads a tad I believe.  Maybe when I get a job,
I'll get it, first month is free!! I have bad luck w/ Bittorrent. My friends seem to do okay. I got
good speeds on Quake4 demo, but nothing else.  I'll seed this FC5
386 DVD to help out others out.  I have my uploads set to OC3 speeds
but am only uploading at 20KB/s?  I can do 45-50 KB/s on ftp and ssh2
transfers.  Any idea of how to improve speeds for uploading?

Yes, I agree, something has changed about Bittorrent in the last year and it has become much slower -- it isn't the medium of choice any longer. I used to be able to download a DVD in about 10 hours on Bittorrent. The Fedora Core 5 x86_64 DVD took close to 48 hours to download by contrast. I started downloading the i386 DVD on Bittorrent as well, and several hours later I'm not even 10% complete on that with speeds in the 17-18 Kbps range on a DSL link I know can go over 90. I think I can probably do better with wget or rsync.
