    Hey,

    So when you're downloading your perfectly legal Linux distros - what download speeds do you get?

    I downloaded Ubuntu at the weekend and fetched around 6MB/sec. I'm sure there was plenty left in the torrent too, but no more in my net connection.

    The absolute highest i've EVER seen my BT connection go in the 2 years i've had it was 600kb/s. Usually it's around 150-200kb/s though.....

    How did you get that fast with tesco. I didn't think they did a plan with more than 8MB.

    I get 0.001kbps in torrents, because stupid TalkTalk throttle them.

    And I've tried everything to get it working, like using port 80, still throttled. God knows how they're doing it.

    My midget pr0n... LINUX DISTROS get downloaded at 800 kB/s when not limited.. Usually they are, though as my flatmate wants to also download tentacle hentai... FREEWARE GAMES every now and then.
