Thanks, Brandon. I really > appreciate it.
It should be mentioned that the torrent worked as well as it did because others did NOT do that, but left their machines running so that your machine could pull snippets from theirs, thereby effectively multiplying the original source sites available bandwidth by the upload bandwidth each site has times the number of sites shareing the torrent, which in turn made your download quite a few times faster. Shutting your machine off slows the torrent for others, and this isn't fair, nor the FOSS attitude. You gained from using the torrent, you should pay it back. This process actually began, your machine sharing back what it has of the requested file, after the first 64 kilobytes had been pulled and stored on your machine. That isn't a full explanation of coarse because the torrent is a random access protocol, and theoretically the first 64k block your machine receives, could in fact haver a small chance of being the last 64k of the file. A torrent tracks where the individual block goes in the file, taking any block advertised by others that it needs until it has every piece of the file and gets the same crc check value as the source had, on a per 64k packet. Any missing pieces can be requested, and whoever has it will send it. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
