I'm putting out 50kb\sec upload... I think we need some more seeders though. We're splitting 150kb\sec between 130 people right now. Come on Sith, we need you!

Great thing about the BT protocol tho is that when I upload a piece to Person A, they can upload it to others and I don't have to send that piece to everyone. So, theoretically everyone could be able to download at 150KB/sec minus those who just got on and are downloading all of the parts we've already uploaded off other people.

Problem is that there are bandwidth hole - those who download more than they upload.

2 seeds, 203 peers BTW.

coming strongly at 30 - 35 KB. Noticed some funny thing, i'm connected to a 100 peers and 22 (23 inc. me) is from Finland, so pretty good efford from the small population country .

I compensate by uploading more then I download... Is that okay too??

What's your connection's max download speed? Connecting to too many people can perhaps slow down your download speed.

I'll up the number to 24 since I just hopped in...

Slow at first, but now I'm getting steady 140+ KB download. Uploading at ~70

[Raider]

no one seems to want to leech from me
i'm only uploading at 4k, and i have my bandwidth wide open...
maybe when i switch to seeder it'll change...
please...someone take my bandwidth...i'm willing to share

[zenon]

It's good to hear people are getting decent speeds. BitTorrent is a great piece of software for doing things like this. We're at 2 seeds and nearly 250 peers right now. The cult of Top Gear is growing.

My 56k download the show in 12 minutes. That was a nice episode. Mmm wait no I haven't downloaded it yet.

[Raider]

Viper/VUK are popular men i'll tell you that much...

[Jostyrostelli]

DL Speed 25kb/s
UL Speed 35 kb/s

[avalys]

I just started the download on my desktop back in my dorm room, which is connected to the enormous (several _terabit_ per second) MIT pipe.

I'll try to keep seeding until late tonight.

My max DL speed was actually raised this weekend from 1M to 2M, I think the reason for slow download is that i'm connected only to a 100 seeds/peers and they can't provide me more speed, but that's OK i'm in no hurry .

[zenon]

^^ Nice! Sounds like you could hit some pretty ridiculous upload speeds. Welcome by the way.

Ah, okay, good. I'm still trying to find the optimum connection limit for my connection. I'm on 1.5mbit/896k and I have it set to 50/torrent max, 150 total max.

On a side note, a third seed, jinmin803, just hoped on as we passed the 300 peer mark.

[JMM]

thanks zenon for the welcoming

i had a huge problems with a router and it didn't let me write anything here, all I got was "this page contains no data" error. Turned out that it was broken, but now i have a new one and it's working greatly.
