Wow!  This bittorrent thing is really slow!!!!!!!  I am downloading at less than 50K/S.  It says it will be at least 12 
hours before I get my ISO's.  It's also uploading something, but it doesn't say what that is.

Well beta release don't generate massive traffic. There is simply
no comparison with something like Red Hat Linux 9 or 8.0 releases.
And BitTorrent really makes wonders when there is so much participant
taht other protocols like FTP start becomming ineffective.
  BitTorrent is really important for the big release, if it's not
on /. you don't really see it in action. However when it is, then
it is very impressive.
  The challenge for the next release is to have FTP ineffective and 
BitTorrent shining, meaning that hordes of people are actually downloading
the bits :-)
