Randow chunks seeding is a great optimisation... but it kills hard drives! You should hear HD activity once you are dling and uploading a couple of large files in overnet I prefer the LW way for now. Might be slower, but it doesn't affect the computer so people can run LW longer without noticing or complaining.
