I gave up on torrents because they are much slower than normal downloads, I can pull 3 downloads from say rapidshare from different mirrors at 250Kbs each without any problems, a single download from microsoft usually comes down at around the 700Kbs, who needs torrents, (other than the providers trying to do mass downloads on the cheap by using everybody's computer as a server)
I tried recently using torrents for down loading tv programmes from the BBC, apart from having to virtually disable my security to get it to work, it took me something like an hour to download a 45 min prog.
