Sorry but negative1 is still wrong. Downloading a torrent, no matter which software you use, no matter the amount of seeders, you will still have to contend with overhead. Torrents will never max out your line speed. Usenet does. Period.

Judging from the reactions of some Usenet folks here and elsewhere, if I didn't know better I would assume it must be an Apple technology. :-)
All negative1 said was that scenarios exist wherein it is possible to get a file through a torrent faster than through Usenet. I believe he expressed that point fairly clearly: "...getting huge DVD files is ENTIRELY possible given enough seeders/peers, and a good connection" (my emphasis).
