Well when we started with these 3 files there was just the one seed so it took a long time... right now #1 has 11 seeds and 2 has 4 and 3 has 3 seeds are those who have the whole file and the more folks that have the whole file + those peers that have more of the file than you do are the places you are getting the file from... right now I could DL #1 in less than an hour for example... one big problem with the free sites like pirate bay is that there is little incentive for folks to keep a file up on their system after they have downloaded it... places like UKNOVA have ratio rules that keep them strong while they are on the tracker... good manners with torrents is to keep them going on your client after you have it till you have a ratio on each one you DL of 1.5 or better (or failing that as long as anyone wants it) Cheers Randolph Lee in Newcastle Maine U.S.A.
