The problem with bt is just the number of others that have it running on the same torrent. It kind of works opposite to regular downloading. With a regular d/l, where everyone is hitting the same server, the more users, the slower it gets. But with bt, the more users the faster it gets. I got pretty good speed out of bt for 10.1C, but maybe it was just my timing. I left it running for a while to help out others who were downloading, but I needed the disk space, so I had to burn them and delete them. When I'm done some repartitioning, I'll put them back and restart bt. If everyone with a high speed connection leaves their bt running even after the d/l is finished, it will help out others, at a modest cost in bandwidth consumed. Even if you don't plan to use 10.1C immediately, if you have the bandwidth and the disk space, d/w with bt, and you'll help out others. -- Ron ron dot hunterduvar at shaw dot ca Opinions expressed here are all mine.
