Just finished the torrent download of the 3.1G knoppix4.0 which I had
running since friday evening (though sleep interruptions as I don't let my
personal pc run overnight for that). You have to supply some patience, and
after your download completes, watch the share ratio. Whenever possible and
there is demand, don't stop seeding it unless you have 1:1, otherwise
bittorrent will not work properly for all involved people.
