Now, I can certainly question the validity of those numbers, but it
seems to be in the right ballpark. The issue is that torrents move a
*lot* of data. The fact that ISPs are buying expensive traffic shaping
boxes indicates that this is indeed large enough to notice.
Hm... I see.
Of course, Tracy often has some interesting comments on torrents... they
aren't as useful for him as one would expect.
I seem to be having somewhat better luck these days. You just have to
let your bittorrent client run for a while. I would say I am having a
40% success rate with torrents selected practically at random from
thepiratebay.org. I bet if I selected the more recently popular torrents
I would have even more success. I am also not behind NAT anymore which
contributes quite a bit to the performance because now the DHT and other
functionality of bittorrent can work.
