actually I am downloading that file as well, and I'm connected to 228 out of 14213 knows seeds and 38 out of 58624 knows "leechers". in other words, it's definitely still in demand :) more stats - I'm downloading at 140K (because I capped it) and uploading at 1-4K (because I'm also seeding other bits of things) > Which means that the "automatic" setting that the python bt GUI client > has simply doesn't work. yup. try Azureus (or utorrent from a windows client). the bandwidth management is a sticky thing. > > It's not as if I understand the behavior after the change.

ISPs in Israel LOVE to squelch your bandwidth. my solution was to move to Hot (I wanted the 512K uplink), and ask for MPLS (which means I just set up a DHCP client, and not a squelchable PPTP or PPPoE) b. I kicked my S-Box out of the setup. if you are using yours I suggest you do the same. it just can't handle the huge amount of connections, as far as to get stuck under really heavy loads. I'm now using it as a rich man's 4-port switch, and IPTables handles much better as my NAT. c. apt-get install wondershaper. fun fun FUN! now VoIP and SSH are not suffocated by BT. -- Nothin' but a hounddog Ira Abramov http://ira.abramov.org/email/ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
