Heh, I'm so happy to be on a college network - gigabit LAN hooked into a fiberoptic network between buildings, ending up in the Ministry of Education's own backbone. I've seen 600kbyte/s download speeds. Seeded TG episodes at over 100kbyte/s.
Around 18-19 million I think, on an island/country/continent the size of the 48 contiguous states of the USA. My ISP is owned by SingTel, so yeah a fair bit of my bandwidth gets routed through Singapore, but I don't know if it's a great deal cheaper. It's been 5 years or more since I worked in ISPs in Australia, but it's traditionally been cheaper to get bandwidth from the USA (as exampled by the fact that for the same price as I pay for my 20 gig a month cable in Australia, I rent a server in America with 1400 gig a month traffic).
Just hop on the suprnova bandwagon, lots of seeders. I started last night when there were no seeders, and it seems like it finish in only a couple hours. Just make sure you're using an efficient torrent program like Azureus to get the files (cause I remember w/ programs like bt++ and torrentstorm, I had a lot of troubles getting files at a good speed).
BTW, does anyone know if they broadcast TG on canadian satellite. I have Bell Expressvu w/ BBC, but it only seems to be the news (since it's part of the news package).
