I've been running with a 50KB/sec upload throttle for several hours now. My download average is 60KB/sec (600kb/sec) and my upload is 42KB/sec (420kb/sec). Not a great download, but this is at the office and I won't touch this until next week. The estimate is it will be done in 15 hours (DVD). I'll leave it seeding all weekend. BTW: 87 leachers, but that is really a lie. I only have 2 upload channels enabled, so when I give someone one of the 2 channels, they get a good upload speed out of me. I think all the possible seeders / leachers just make it hard for the software to figure out which peer is useful to download from. The first 15-30 minutes it seemed to spend all its time trying really slow peers, then it started ramping up as it found some good high-speed peers. My top scoring peer is actually a leacher as well. I have downloaded 236 MB from him and I have sent him 185 MB. We're both about 20% complete so I guess eventually we ll have everything the other has and say goodbye. FYI: I'm using ktorrent and you can click on peers at the bottom then click on upload slot (etc.) to see how many people are actually uploading from you and how much they have uploaded.
