Decided to try a large upload from the console. Using 634 with 15-18 peers its managed to upload 4% of a 732M file in 12 hours... I have a 50k/s upload limit. Completed 4% 1379/32770 (failed 0, fatally 0, total 32770) For testing purposes it might be a good idea to timestamp the message like the one above. Thanks Ed
