Things that are popular will download quickly, things that aren't won't. Seems to match well with community if you ask me. I just downloaded: http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/torrents//F10-Snap1-x86_64-Live.torrent It took just over 6 minutes and my top speed was 2037.3 KB/s I might suggest that different places have different rules wrt torrent and qos, firewalls and other setups can affect torrent preformance. -Mike -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
