Worst case if things don't improve in a while, you'll just have to use a mirror :}

that would suck soooooooo bad, cause im sure that would be a lot slower since ive been downloading since 11:00am and now its 10:00pm lol i couldnt imagine restarting the whole thing.... i had like 3 interuptions but nothing that would slow it down that much...... btw i have 2 peers atm.... i wish i could have like 100 peers lol ;D

Actually if you have had a low number of peers throughout the download, using a mirror will probably be faster. Perhaps try it out, and stop if you don't see an improvement? The forum isn't likely to have a big traffic increase at this time of day that would help your message, unfortunately.

If you have something better than dialup, running both at the same time shouldn't be a problem.

It wouldn't matter if you connected to 100 peers in BT then.  BT is probably already using as much bandwidth as it can.  You may get a slightly faster speed through one of the mirrors, but probably not much. 

Consider this a test of your patience.

You need to have a decent amount of that to play PS anyway.

oh yeah, take the chance to read the stickies
especally the ones about the installation, and the various other ones.
and the players guide... but that iirc needs to be updated a bit.
may laanx frighten the shadow from my path.
hardly because the shadow built the lexx.
