Man, I downloaded edgy through bittorrent at ~440 KB/s. I was getting around 25 or so from the regular servers! It finished in about 22 minutes or so.

I downloaded from a local mirror (ftp.lug.ro) with 7 MB/s. I'm better than you :P

I tried downloading a torrent of it last night, and I was only getting 12-18 kilobytes per second. Granted, it was approximately the same time that American Ubuntu users were logging on and finding that Edgy had been released.

I got it within an hour or so yesterday evening and left it seeding all night. Only about 1800MB has been uploaded so far though.

Ubuntu, share and share alike :)
