Re: [OT] ADSL Speeds using BitTorrents

["Simon McCaughey" <simonmcc@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I completely agree, my azureus runs 24/7 mostly downloading/seeding
torrents from uknova, and I have no issues at all. Like I said before,
follow the guides, and it'll all work nicely.

I also found *increacing* the number of connections to 180 (from the
default of 100) helped download speed greatly
