:=I'm trying to figure out the gain of using bittorrent.  I guess it's 
:=simply the reduction of the load on mirrors and servers.  

Got it in one.  I know some folks who've done releases using bittorrent and
the comparison of load on their servers between ftp and bittorrent was
amazing.  The difference was between their 4 servers getting constantly
crushed during the initial release and the 4 servers running smoothly with
no crashes.

:=I started a 
:=bittorrent to get Mandrake 10 yesterday.  Now it's 3 cds so I know it's 
:=going to take a while, but right now I'm getting 11 KiB/s and have 
:=downloaded 399 M.  That's barely 1/2 of one of the cds.  ETA is 44 hours.

Have you turned on uploads?  I got crappy performance until I turned on
sharing.  After some futzing with upload numbers I got my download speed up
to good speeds.
