Bit Torrent...

Torrent is right.. so is bit.. I got a small bit and others apparently were uploading from me a large bit. 62m up 1.8m down, I am on dialup, so trying to download Jick's interview took over four hours for just 1.8m! That's nuts.

Take into account that hosting these mp3's as they are, costs massive bandwith when 1000 kol players download them at the same time, we usually put it up as a torrent for 2 weeks or so, and then put the actual mp3 online..

But something must be wrong though, since you should get a much better download ratio.., are you firewalled ?
