# it's a very clever p2p system
while you download stuff, people can upload the bits you've downloaded at the same time, which means it goes a whole lot faster, and better than kazaa

# who told you that?
I've never got decent transfer rates ever.

# sort your firewall out then ;)

# Is it not just a case
of finding decent sites? I know not where to look obviously.

# It just needs to catch on really.
Like any p2p it's only as good as the number of people serving files.

# It depends on how many other people are downloading the same file
I download Angel episodes as soon as they arrive and I get around 30 - 50, a whole episode turns up in around 2 1/2 hours for 600 Mb, which I think is pretty damn swift
(I helped save b3ta! Pootle, Mon 17 Nov 2003, 16:22, archived)
# i get around 30kb/s throughout the entire download.
which seems crap, but considering with other systems i'd get 60-65kb/s peak, but with lots of stalls and slowdowns, it probably all works out the same.

# its a very good way of getting films and computer software
although there are better places to get music from.
