Wow!

First time I used Bittorrent, I got all three cd's of Fedora Core in
like 15 minutes!!

Maybe there's something in your setup that eeds a-tweakin' ??

I'm trying to figure out the gain of using bittorrent.  I guess it's 
simply the reduction of the load on mirrors and servers.  I started a 
bittorrent to get Mandrake 10 yesterday.  Now it's 3 cds so I know it's 
going to take a while, but right now I'm getting 11 KiB/s and have 
downloaded 399 M.  That's barely 1/2 of one of the cds.  ETA is 44
hours.

Unfortunately, there's no easy way to get the goods via ftp.
