This can't be right. I've used the bittorrent file from a mirror
(ftp.gwdg.de) to start ktorrent downloading the 10.0 cd iso's.

My download speed is about 0.5bps!!!!

What could be wrong?

Is the torrent file from a ftp site "linked" to that site? I can't
believe that 'cos at the moment there seem to be 62 other peers...

The upload is going faster than the download by about 50 times. So it
spends a lot of time doing nowt until a bit of a backlog has been built
up and then whoosh, and then waits again.

Something must be amiss - I can't believe its THAT slow...!
