So your network as a whole can upload 30 kB/s, than you can't upload at more than 27 kB/s (including all the computers in your network). And the official BT client ain't bad, but it's kinda outdated and a pain in the ass to deal with. But anyways, play with your bandwidth a bit and see what you come up with.

Well, I upped the u/l limit and now I'm d/l at about 20-25 kb/s, sometimes 30. Makes me happy!!

ANOTHER question (and feel free to kick my ignorant butt to the curb if I'm asking too many dur-dur questions): Will the final movie show up as a wmv or avi or mgp file because... I'm not seeing any one of those in the folder at the moment. When I've d/l torrents before, there usually exists a file of the aforementioned format that SAYS it's, you know, 500mb or 2 gigs but it won't ACTUALLY contain all that data until the transfer is complete. With this torrent, I'm not seeing the same thing. Am I going to have to find software to piece the movie together for me or am I missing something?

If you don't want to be bothered by my idiocy I completely understand, but... um... if that's the case... could you point me in the direction of someplace where I COULD ask this question without pissing anybody off?

Thanks and apologies.

How much are you uploading? For public torrents, it's usually a good idea to allocate at least 20-30 kB/s for upload, as it takes quite a bit going upstream to get the downstream connection to work well. If you try and choke your uploading, you won't download jack.

I believe I'm u/l at about 35 kb/s but that's only an estimation because, alas, the workforce owns my soul until 5... so my best guess will hafta be good enough until I get home. The slowness COULD be due to the fact that, in my house, there are 4 computers all linked together in a wireless network and the bandwidth is probably like "whooooooooooaaaaaa I'm cloooooooooogged".

As far as clients, I only use utorrent or bitcomet, and those work nicely.

Yeah, I've seen someone else in the thread mention using utorrent. I'm currently using the one you get from bittorrent.com and I dunno if that's good or bad or what. I'm considering switching. I may lose whatever I've already got in the transition but considering I've only managed to snag about 4%, no biggie.

By the way, thanks for being nice to me, tweaker. I'm always apprehensive and kind of ashamed when I show up as a newbie asking dur-dur-dur questions.

No one killed me and I appreciate that.

Thanks... I'm trying to get it but the darn thing is downloading at about 3 kb/s... at this rate I'll have it in about 2 weeks (if I get it at all). Do you think maybe it's the client I'm using or maybe something about my computer? Or has it downloaded that slowly for everyone?

Sorry... I just got SO excited when I saw I could download it and then it was quite a downer when I realized it was downloading one teeny tiny fraction at a time. In addition to lazy, I'm impatient! Not too many virtues here, I assure you. What a fine addition to your community you must consider me... heh heh...

Yeesh, not helping myself out here. Anyways...

So... my questions remain. Thanks and apologies.

By the way ...

Very sorry to those waiting for the DVD.

Ok, I'm sure what I'm about to ask has been asked about a gazillion bajillion times in this thread, but... um... *insert lame newb question here* How/where can I get the DVD and how much does it cost? *end lame newb question*

I'd probably find the answer if I looked through all fifty-some pages of posts, but.... I'm... lazy. Can you forgive me? CAN YOU? I could even dramatically throw myself to the ground and beg for forgiveness if you'd like... but I prefer mercy.

Thanks and apologies.
