Well, I've waited a bit and currently it looks pretty good for me: between 100 and 210 kB/sec
download rate. That's on an 4mbit (down) ADSL in Belgium and looks pretty acceptable to me, given
that on my ISP's FTP mirrors, I get 480kB/sec. My upload doesn't get much higher than 10kB/sec though.
19 seeds, 61 peers... so there's definately potential for a lot more ;)
As already discussed, please *do* try bittorrent first to see whether you achieve an acceptable
download rate within 30min. If you're still creeping around at 5kB/sec, then switch to HTTP or FTP
(and regularely check mirrors, especially ftp.uni-erlangen.de and ftp.kernel.org) - with wget and
other download tools (curl, d4x, ...) you can stop downloading and continue with another mirror.
To Lode: yep, ftp.belnet.be would definately be a killer. AFAICR it's sitting on the backbone
between Frankfurt and Amsterdam, so it should be a decent alternative for people outside Belgium as
well.
BTW, another very fast mirror in Europe is ftp.heanet.ie but it already serves as a sourceforge.net
mirror.
happy torrenting
cheers
