Forgot to mention - some trackers may punish you if you do not share (upload) or provide a low up bandwidth, so you will get lower down speed just because of that. I do not know about this one though. -- -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny) -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

Finally got around to opening port 6881 on my firewall. My speed seems to have doubled. After opening that port, I had to re-run the config wizard. I've found I run fastest (60kB/s download) if I limit upload speed to 20kB/s or so. I'm going to leave the torrent up for the weekend. By then it should be more readily available to others. FYI: Apparently I was running so very slowly due to a failing DSL modem. Replaced that this morning and saw speed jump 10x. Another doubling with port 6881 and I'm up to 30% utilization on my DSL connection. Not too bad, but it will be tomorrow before I have the CDs downloaded. Greg
