Speed of Downloads

We get people asking bout the speed of downloading torrents because sometimes there's a lag between the time when one starts a torrent download and when it actually starts.

Torrents are different from downloading a file from a server in that they are taking separate pieces of the file from a number of different computers across the world rather than one single location. Sometimes it can take a bit for the software to find all these different computers and begin the download.

To speed this process up, we've set up two separate "seed boxes" which are turned on and ready to download 24/7.

But even with these added resources, it can take a bit for the downloads to get going.

Be patient and realize this is the best way we can offer to solve the problem of making the over 100GB of materials available to everyone.

And you can help speed this up by leaving you torrent software open as much as possible so you are sharing small portions of the downloads with others as well.

a problem is postulate-counter-postulate, terminal-counter-terminal, force-counter-force. It’s one thing versus another thing. You’ve got two forces or two ideas which are interlocked of comparable magnitude and the thing stops right there. All right, now with these two things one stuck against the other you get a sort of a timelessness, it floats in time. (SH Spec 82, 6111C21) 2 . a problem is a postulate-counter-postulate resulting in indecision. That is the first manifestation of problems, and the first consequence of a problem is indecision. (SH Spec 27, 6107C11) 3 . a multiple confusion. (SH Spec 26X, 6107C03) 4 . an intention counter-intention that worries the preclear. (HCOB 23 Feb 61) 5 . a problem is the conflict arising from two opposing intentions. A present time problem is one that exists in present time, in a real universe. (HCOB 3 Jul 59) 6 . something which is persisting, the as-is-ness of which cannot be attained easily. (PRO 16, 5408CM20)
