Hey murasame--glad to have another OSX poster here.

My setup is nothing special--cablemodem with 5mbps down, 1mbps up. OS 10.28 on a 700 G3 iBook.

I was pretty tickled by that screenshot--it was the best I've seen: Too bad the file was typical porno junk (and had 350 sources!). Sigh. Soon the real files will come!

I actually got to watch a fellow (GTK Gnutella) upload from me at 115KB/s the other day. That was impressive!

Whatever the coders are doing with the Partial File Sharing, they've sure proved to me that they've figured out how to optimize the code to pick the best hosts.

[edit: I checked more, and I was wrong. The ISP is pretty special. Accesscomm.ca says it's 5mbps down, 1 mbps up--and they were notified by Broadband Reports that their setup might rank in the top 10 worldwide (whatever those stats might mean) . Not bad for a little non-profit cable coop! So much for zee capeetalist dogs ]
