Search the archives for this list or expert. Many includin myself have explained how to limit upload bandwidth. Hint: you need to reserve some of your upload width, in order to download at full speed. I got all 5 Power Pack iso's yesterday, two torrents runnin simultaneously (3 CD set + the extra 4 and 5) at about 145K/s down. Upload was limited to 6K/s up each for a combined 12K/s. Since then I've restarted both uploads at a combined 20K/s. My 1.5mb/256k aDSL is good for 160K/s down, 26K/s up max. So keepin 6K/s up for myself leaves my connection 100% usable. I'll probly continue to upload for a week or so, or until demand drops way off. Torrent heavily depends on people continuing to upload after they've got the iso's. And it also spares the donated mirrors from gettin /.'d -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Proud to be an American
