    185 hours remaining?!? .. We need to get more people downloading this. Lets post it on..

    Crap.

    Okay, seriously, whats with the ultra-slow download speeds? At best, I'm maxxing out at 12-14KiB/s.

    I'm uploading at over 24KiB/s..

    Need more torrents to suck from, methinks.

  2. Either bittorrent sucks or I need some advice. by shaitand · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I've never gotten decent speeds on bittorrent, at best I've gotten medicore speeds.

    This time I'm not even getting medicore speeds, once in a great while I get 1k/s. Most of the time I'm getting nothing.

    My client shows connection to 20 peers and 0 seeds, and I do have the ports forwarded.

    The MD5SUM file posted here in this forum has a valid Fedora Project GnuPG signature, if you remove the excess spaces. And I've now downloaded the first CD via bittorrent, and the MD5 sum doesn't match... I can only conclude, that this is not the final Fedora Core 2, but a hoax.
