thats hardly the usual, not in this part of the world anyway, I dont know
of anyone that uses torrents to get any distro, besides most ISP's these
days use some form of QoS, local FTP's are always full speed

I read usenet and lists in pine. But m$ outlook, thunderbird and gmail
often use html span/whatever for quotes, makes it hard to tell who said
what, so I dont try. If I ignore you, thats why! Use a compliant mailer.

I'm always complaining about how little bandwidth there is especially
compared to a few years ago and what could be.

What is the difference between gnutella and bittorrents?

In my experience:
bittorrent is usually slow.
gnutella is usually quicker than bittorrent.

bittorrent is enforced uploading in a swarm as well as
downloading in a swarm (if there's many users of the same file).

Gnutella started out as 1 to 1 downloading, now it can swarm
the download as well. There is no enforced uploading in gnutella.

Downloaded the DVD, mounted -o loop, (upgradepkg --install-new)ed,
rebooted, LILO told me something about `over page size', panicked,
rebooted to FreeBSD, sought advice, on which I rebooted with a 12.0 USB
stick, got back in, ran liloconfig, and back to normal, for some reason.
(Yes, I have the DVD ordered. I good boy.

Pat's already released PHP 5.2.6 as a patch TO Slackware 12.1 (and
previous releases, back to 10.2).
