I'm trying so hard to understand how torrents work, but it seems to be some PFM at work here. Why is it I'll get different speeds for the same torrent when using different clients? And why does it only say downloading from 3 of 5 peers when there are thousands of seeders listed? Do I just have something set up wrong? I have the ports forwarded as recommended, I've tried bittorrent, bittornado, transmission ans azureus. Azureus seems to have some decent speeds for now, but so did transmission when I first started using it. What am I missing here? I've read what I can find online and things don't seem to work the way they are described. Tyrion -- KPLUG-List@kernel-panic.org http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
