Somebody is certainly having success with the torrent. I started it after I rsynced the cooker tree last Thursday morning to get the ISOs. The pull has been steady at around 55 KBytes/sec. The only time it isn't running is during brief periods when glitches at my ISP drop my connection; usually a few seconds at a time and never more than a minute. That upload rate is about a third of my maximum theoretical upload bandwidth. I haven't restricted it at all. "Maximum Rates" on this service (cable) are, theoretically; 10 mbit/sec down, 1.5 mbits/sec up. I think I'll be clicking "Finish" in the next day or two so that I can actually try the installer. It's hard to test when you're busy feeding the hungry maw of the torrent.
