Who has time to wait for bit torrent... Last time I tried that, it took 3 days to download...
Just my take.. Scott
Using my home cablemodem about 2 weeks ago, I was able to download the entire CentOS 4.0 DVD ISO in about 75 minutes.
If it takes you 3 days then something is very wrong with your connectivity or your bitorrent setup.

just for the record ... there are 65-70 full seeds for bittorrent and I fill my download pipe (8mbps) when downloading via BT. I normally can get about 300KB/sec ... maybe 500KB/sec absolutely max from an FTP site ... but that 8mbps line lites up at 1045KB/sec when D/L via Bittorrent on my connection.

I'm not the OP, but it takes a couple days for me to download a DVD image. Not all broadband providers allow for 10Mbps downloads ... I'm cheap and I'm capped at 384Kbps I could pay twice as much and get 3Mbps (more like ~2Mbps IRL). At work it's not any better especially since I'm going though a firewall where they don't want any P2P traffic (or IM or Streaming Audio or much of anything else).

took me only a few hours with my dsl line being maxed out. BT starts slow and then speeds up rather quickly especially considering hte amount of seeds it has.
