I grabbed the torrent off of one of the iso mirrors, but it is coming down so slow - I have to wonder if the torrent file is the incorrect one for the bad file mentioned on the list earlier. Would someone be kind enough to point me to a mirror with a known good torrent file?

I got mine down at 10-12Mbps at work, and nearly as fast at home. And that was yesterday when supposedly everybody and their dogs were downloading 5.2. OTOH, that might be why it went so fast... 8-) Are you sure your ISP doesn't cap/stop/whatever p2p generally? If you are, what kind of settings have you set in your bt-client? What bt-client are you using? What bandwidth do you have access to? In any case, I usually seed mine more or less indefinitely. The mirror lists at centos.org are rather good. If they don't work for you, well, check above. -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces at centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces at centos.org] On Behalf Of Michael A.

My ISP caps bt to ~ 20K/s - I'm seeing about half of that right now. When 5.1 shipped, I saw the full 20K/s within a few minutes of starting the client.
