Sorry if it came off as negative.  I was really hoping that someone
would have some idea why my download rate was so lousy.  (Lousy being
defined as around 1/2 of my upload rate.)

After all, if P2P downloads are going to run at 1/10th of the speed of
traditional methods, we'll all just go back to beating the hell out of
Red Hat's servers, not a desirable outcome.
