Sharing as fast as I can, never seen this kind of activity before, it's like a shark feeding frenzy... The CentOS-5.3-x86_64-bin-DVD torrent I'm seeding says the share ratio is 40928, and rapidly increasing. That can't possibly be right, can it?? Have to cap the upload speed to 25kBps during work hours, or my computer would be unusable. Maybe I should move this seeding to a CentOS-machine instead... DHT is enabled over here as well. -- /Sorin
