Nope - the upload is usually set at max 30k, and doesn't go much beyond 50K anyway. Downloading an ISO from the SWITCH mirror, I get a rocksolid 156K/s, with bittorrent I've rarely seen more than 50.
when a new version is released, it's often impossible to join the ftp site... and most mirrors are _not_ uptodate.
I think, that beta testers should organize mirrors :-) I have one up to date mirror in Hungary, and I keep it up to date, as it's my best interest. Hungarian users have gigabit access to it. No link here, as our international lines are much narrower and much more expensive... I also provide 1M/s bittorrent, that's also available to international users and seeded a few terrabytes in the past weeks. A question to those, how use a torrent client: would it be better, if I limited the number of concurrent users? There are now over 50 users sharing that 1M/s upload limit, which is just 20k/s pro person on average. I tried to limit it to 30 by giving the argument "--max_uploads 30" to launchmany-curses, but for i386 alone there are more connections on my machine... Bye, -- CzP http://peter.czanik.hu/
