Five: I use linux on servers and at home.
direwolf-pgh: It does increase down and up speed. My connection at home is decent, cable modem. But the servers are on T1's/T3's. There is no bittorrent throttling to worry about from your ISP (Comcast, etc). Now, I agree that a WELL SEEDED torrent is still important, I have seen download speeds of a 1000 kB/s sustained for a minute or more often dropping to 200-400 (the same torrent at home would be 20-75). I see 150-400 on most torrent downloads and have had upload speeds in the 75-300 OFTEN. When I jump both boxes on a recently seeded torrent, not only do I get the shows faster, everyone does. When my download finishes, I have usually already shared over 100%.
On the dying torrents deal: I think they are dying due to lack of seeders/connections. With TorrentFlux 2.3 you actually have to restart the torrent manually if you get to zero connections.
JamesKG: Cool, that works well I am sure!
U2Lynne: Don't use TTD's, we need the tracker and forums!
