Wbat client are you using? Even the textual mode clients should offer some sort of confirmation that something is happening, such as download speed, percent done, and so forth. If you aptitude install bittornado & bittornado-gui these will replace the other choices (using /etc/ alternatives -- you can still invoke the older clients by name, though) you'll get a nicer summary of what's going on. Also, bttornado-gui (at least for me) uses saner defaults for # of possible connections - the other clients I've used simply swamp my connection to the point that other net activity slows down as to be unusable. I have ADSL (1500 down, 128 up) as well here. > Benjamin Didn't I run into you several years ago on redhat lists? :) -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
