Aria2c is good, no doubt about it.
But I just tried with ktorrent, the 64 bit DVD downloaded in 1 h 40 min. Constant speed of almost 800 k all the time.
I'm connection limited on a shared 2Mb fiber pipe here at work, so while I CAN get faster speeds, depending on usage, I generally only get 300-400k.
I'm seeding now.
And that's the only way that bittorrent is useful. Age of the torrents and popularity is what causes them to die. I don't know how many times I've tried to torrent and there were no seeders. Oh well.
The problem here is the ISP. They all give you easily and quite cheap downstream speed. I have 24 Mbs down. But upstream is a bitch. I have 1 lousy meg upsteam. That's all they give you. Not more, not even with money. Or then yes, with _real_ money, but that's a _whole_ different story. -- Vahis http://waxborg.servepics.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
