I do believe that something is wrong with the setup. I get torrent connection speeds that vary wildly from 10KB/sec to about 200KB/sec. FTP gets me about 1380KB/sec.
surely, these are not centos DVD image torrents you are talking about here ? if they are - can you give me some time scales as to when you had this sort of a speed issue ?
Yes, the DVD torrents. I started the DVD download last night about 9:00PM. I went to bed at 3:00AM, with 5 hours, 20 minutes remaining of download time remaining. This morning I checked the file modification time which works out to a total download time of about 10 hours, 50 minutes. Contrast this to downloading all 4 CDs in under 30 minutes.
I'll put my money where my mouth is and buy the DVD. At this point I'm probably coming off as ungrateful which is certainly not the case.
