Things are actually starting to radically speed up here. My guess is the offices closed, and people went home at 6:00, leaving more available bandwidth, or something like that. Anyways, the size of my slackware directory is growing at about 7 megs per minute. It's not only bittorrent either, I can actually browse the web now without much noticeable delay. So, I guess the trickle is starting to turn into a torrent here after all (grin).
