Is there a technical reason why the torrent was as quick as it way? I
never got 700k transfers before with the torrent. Usually I only get 20k

Upload is only 20k to feed the torrent on my machine though.
Bittorrent transfers are fast if there are a lot of systems contributing
bandwidth. There is only one system that is an "official" seed. Even
though that system is on a pretty fast link when you get a lot of people
trying to download at the same time it can take a while. I have a
pretty decent link at work so I made a point of setting up a client as
soon as the torrents were available and sharing my bandwidth. I think
several others did the same.

The extra bandwidth helped out considerably. I expected the download to
take overnight and maybe longer. I was surprised that it took whatever
700kb/sec would take in time for the ISO to download.
I left the torrent on and contributed overnight and a workday which
contributed some, but it seemed pitiful to what was received.
Thanks!
Jim
