Bittorent ?!

He ?? Is that the Ubuntu "spirit" ? If I download only one Ubuntu image
a year, I am not considered equal to the testers who download an image
every morning ? Cool.....
I guess I will stop bothering with BT then, not my intellectual cup of
tea... :-/

Yes, I have been suffering with dial-up too, for the last 2 years, and
got 1Mbps only last month ! I suffered too much with dial-up, now I want
things to just go fast ! The Ubuntu server always feels like it could
give me much more than my modest (by todays standards!) 1Mbps.
Maybe I will pay a little bit more, and upgrade to 4Mbps... 500KB/s, I
am sure Ubuntu can cope with it... ISO images in 15 minutes, that's not
too bad !!! :o)

Vince, never gonna stand dial-up anymore !
