Bittorrent was *disappointingly slooooow*. I could have latched on to a mirror and gotten the three CD's much faster using mozilla.
You use *Mozilla* instead of a proper FTP client or a downloader like wget to download ISOs? Wow. You must have a really reliable connection
I'm on cable, and in addition, I usually pick one of the European or Far East sites when the ones in the West are busy. With moz, I'd have gotten all three CD's within (at most) 3 1/2 hours, compared to about 5 hours with Bittorrent (ver 3.2).
