I have always assumed this is because most home broadband users (ADSL & Cable in my part of the world) are assymetrical, so their upload speed is quite slow compared to their download speed. Beta 6 was the first time I downloaded with Bittorrent, it took about 12 hours. Using FTP I have downloaded 5 CDs in little over an hour. But the Australian Mirrors are a bit slow to update their mirrors, especially for betas. Peter 'Pflodo' Flodin
