I just started my torrent 30-60 minutes ago. Using a full-duplex (symmetric) T-1.
Actually, a T1 is not as fast as many ADSL and cable modem connections. For example, my cable modem runs 10 Mb download and 800K up. Also, when downloading, symmetrical bandwidth doesn't get you much, as there's far more data coming down, than ACKs going back. In fact, as case could be made for asymmetrical bandwidth on the server, but reversed from home users, that is upload capacity greater than download. Symmetrical bandwidth is useful when similar amounts of data are going in each direction. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
