Ditto here. Someone should start seeding this via bittorrent.... http://www.lokitorrent.com is still alive(fsck you very much, MPAA)

I would, but I have just 11%, and it\'s progressing at a blazing 12k/sec---on broadband.

I think we should try downloading it on off hours, like 3 in the morning, the server is probably under a lot of stress (virtualy everyone who had mb downloading it at the same time + new users)

Two points:

- It\'s guaranteed to succeed
- If more people share, everyone goes faster

Also, it\'s possible that your upload is capped.

I know mine is capped at 35 kbps, so while I can theoretically download at 1 mb/s, withbittorent, how much you download is proportional to what you upload, so i\'m \"only\" getting 100 kbps.

When i\'m at school and am on teh phat pipe, I can get 1mb/s +. :D
