Since most of us non-commercial users with good bandwidth have max
upload speeds probably less than 45kb, if we start parceling out to many
peers, with insufficient peers overall in the peer community, you'll see
that. ATM, I've 27 peers uploading and am show appx. 42kb going out.
Divide that by 27 ...

It all depends on getting a *lot* of peers participating. Many broadband
biz accts participating would really help out too. Their upload speeds
are so much greater.

Maybe an announce posting would reach more folks, reminding them to help
the cause.

Maybe many don't know that the torrent is operational again?
