Yes, it seems like the seeder isn't handing out "random enough" chunks of the file to various clients--like all the clients have to go back to the single seeder for the missing chunks instead of getting them from other clients. I would think there should be at least one distributed copy by now, but my client says there are 0 (not even fractional distributed copies...). I'm using "bittorrent-curses". I increased my max_upload_rate to 600 KB/sec (is that bits or bytes by the way?) and enabled UDP 6881-6889 through the host's firewall (in addition to TCP 6881-6889) since I hadn't realized that UDP is used now. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
