[ltp] Off topic about Bit Torrent

[Adam Southerland]

I use this: bittorrent-EXPERIMENTAL-UNOFFICIAL-3.2.1b-2 for Windows (Haven't 
got Linux Working enough for it and not sure I want to run it on my linux 
box... Pentium 166...) -- Don't know if it's ported to Linux either....

Info I found... I have an ISA server as my firewall and I found if I run 
BitTorrent from behind it, it runs rather slow and is slow to get any 
connects... If I run it on the ISA Server then I get NICE download speeds =) 
  (Plus I can cap it so I won't get booted off the net for exceeding my 
bandwidth.)

I don't know if that will help, but those are my findings... I need a bigger 
thinkpad =)
