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.
I was under the impression the BT wasn't about speed, but it was about finding things that ppl don't want distributed, rather than focused on a single URL to download
You DL pieces of it from 20 or 30 different ppl rather than 20 or 30 hitting the same URL and snarfing all the source's B/W
