I used aria2c to do my downloading of 11.1, after an initial wget stalled (having initially looking like it'd use the max bandwidth). I've used ktorrent in past, but with the infrstructure all set up on Thursday, Peter Poeml's advice helped.
What I've noticed experimenting, is on the network I use, which is based on Cable TV company infrastructure, that upload traffic, cuts download speed heavily and vice-versa.
So I actually think now pardoxically if you want to contribute a seed, it's faster to set a download limit initially that's about 95% of max download speed (for more consistency), and limit upload speed very heavily at first. Then afterwards re-run to start seeding, with an upload limit that's about 80% of the max, with no interference from download traffic.
I have not seen those conditions here, central indiana cable. Seeding definitely detracts from access to my server, but I have achieved nearly the providers limits of 16/2 on many occasions. I have been seeding for several days @ 100K even while downloading the iso's. There is a noticable slowing of server access, but it is still available and usable. My 16/2 is *not* 16 -2. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
