The regular bittorrent client was giving me an error about not being able to

synaptic, so thought I'd give it a try. I usually avoid "k apps", which is
rather silly it turns out. ktorrent handled the torrent url just fine, and
it also has an excellent visual layout, with all the download data easily
visible right up front and a cool graph that shows you the parts of the file
that have been downloaded. This is much more informative than just a simple
download percentage. I never did get around to installing Azureus.

Maybe it's just me, but I have never gotten any speed advantage using
Bittorrent for anything. Ever. It's always been at least a magnitude
faster just to go get the file in the usual way. Makes me suspect that
Cox is one of the growing number of ISP's that squeeze the tube whenever
they suspect a Bittorrent stream.
