Finally! Thank God!

Just one question: when using bittorrent, where do I get the md5sum file?

TIA,

Everything is usually included in the download directory that is created when you run the BT client. If you have a firewall running make sure that you open/forward the ports 6881,6882,6883,6884,6885,6886,6887,6888,6889 or your download speed will suck.

This is certainly great news, but the cheatcodes don't mention how to disable that embarrassing voice during boot and shutdown. Or did that lady follow Koffice?

[A. Jorge Garcia]

Yeah, my d/l rate is rotten (80 KB/s). How do I improve this? I tried using btlaunchmany once before (recently for overclockix) and had a much faster rate.

Is it just bogged-down because everyone is using it right now? I thought the whole idea behind bittorrent was efficiency increased as the number of clients....

BTW, what does the following mean?

./KNOPPIX_V3.4-2004-05-04-EN: Spd: 87.6 KB/19.2 KB Tot: 63.2 MB/45.0 MB [4:09:56 6%]

Does this really mean what I think it does? Is it that I'm only getting 87.6KB/s and have received only 63.2MB of the file and have to wait over 4 hours to finish at this rate? Tell me I'm reading this wrong!

TIA,
AJG
