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 don't tend to use places like thepiratebay.org.
I instead tend to use private trackers. They seem to be more robust.
If you are a member of some "community", they may have a private
tracker. Those tend to be a *lot* better than piratebay.
