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...!

Have you tried to reduce the upload speed to half your maximum upload bandwidth? It could help. You should also open ports 6881-6889 on your firewall if you have such a thing. Regards, Gulli

Your upload rate should not be more than 80% of your real upload capacity. Cheers -e -- Eberhard Moenkeberg (emoenke@gwdg.de, em@kki.org)

I too tried the torrents and I'd have died of old age first. I started FTP download in evening, finished by next evening. Does anyone know why the torrent seed is utterly useless? I am veyr sure it isn't me, as I've been able to download all manner of other w^H(cough cough) material at decent rates over torrent.

Damn sight better than my Spanish, French, German or anything else except a bit of West Sussex dialect, so stop apologising! Us anglophones are notoriously bad at learning other languages so can't complain. Blame the Americans and their mindrotting media...
