Seems to me that the Torrents totally beat ftp downloads, even over  
fast backbones, for new releases.  The speeed is totally sick.

Same here this weekend, thanks to Pete's great tutorial here:

This weekend I loaded up a fistfull of torrents from my humble boxes  
in colo, but had to budget my bandwidth:

This was my line for all torrents, so I cold keep all 17 torrents  
seeding, while still hovering around 2mbit, more or less:

btdownloadcurses.py --max_upload_rate 50 --max_allow_in 5 6.0-RELEASE- 
i386-all.torrent


This line is to just let it bloody rip, and I quickly spiked up over  
45mbit with just the i386 torrents <g> (not a good thing if you pay  
per mbit :):

btdownloadcurses.py --max_upload_rate 0 6.0-RELEASE-i386-all.torrent

Thanks again Pete for posting that tutorial, I had all seeds running  
and contained in about 10 minutes!
