Huh! It is much easier when one makes proper visualisation of the protocols involved into the task. Peer2peer is not the devil, but the way to do things. I cannot imagine downloading debian dvd in one act. What if the line drops? Seriously, original poster failed to show details. Lenny is rock stable and there is no way to freeze it other than clogging i/o. For downloading torrents, isp makes bandwidth rules. Also for uploading. On some spots on mother earth it is not ligit to run server aside ones paid to the same isp. Since the port on which torrent app communicates lives in high range, I doubt it is the problem. My conclusion would be: some time has to be spent to learn ins and outs of debian first. Next, to learn how torrent works, including reading rfc or whatever similar. Last, choose the application people use and help on forums or irc channel. Best reagards Zoran -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
