Wow!!! that is a super fast connection. OTOH, an average upload
rate of 55KB/s tells me you're only givin about 1/3 of your
upstream capacity to torrent. No need to limit.

No need to wait till you quit torrent. I burned my iso's to
Cd's while the torrent was still runin. Later after a 2.2.24
kernel try. I also then tried an 'update' (to current cooker
anyhow) with the New Years' beta 1 iso's. Both failed to do much.
Restarted my 10.0. beta 1 torrent on rebooting. It's still goin.
I reckon I've uploaded both iso's twice in return so far.
