      Keep an eye on that link below. When you see downloaders drop 
off to just a few, and there's still enough 'connected complete' 
people, then it'd probly be OK to abandon BT then.

   I've kept mine up since getting the iso's last Wednesday. I've 
got upload limited to 50% of my connections capability. I can 
hardly tell BT is still runnin, while doin other stuff with the 
connection. IOW, I've still got 100% down, and the 50% up I have 
left over just means it takes a second longer to send an email ;)
