-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Actually, I'm on cable and the other day, I was able to download a kernel source at over 360k per second. Early this morning, I downloaded another file from postgresql.org at 270 K per second. But in general, my upload speeds never exceed 30 K before and after my router change. I ran earlier today btdownloadcurses.py which gave me some interesting stats but that was when the transfer speed was so horrible. I haven't had a chance to forward the ports for btdownloadheadless.py but from what I've seen so far, I'm quite disappointed and unimpressed with bittorrent. I suppose it has an interesting concept in theory but the performance just flat sucked on my machine so far. FTP is much faster - - IF i CAN GET IN, that is. I've been trying rsync too but I haven't had a chance to see if it really works in this situation.
