About a week ago I downloaded Jon Stewart's appearance on Crossfire using BitTorrent, and I got a personal record download speed: around 490 KB/s near the end of the download. Mind you, there were around 3000 seeds. Last night I started downloading FreeBSD 5.3 and was getting around 50 KB/s, but I don't know how many seeds there were (presumably far fewer).
Does anyone else have anecdotal evidence for us?
