Re: mac stuff

Speaking of Macs.........
I realize download speeds vary based on # of peers and various upload speed adjustments, but just a snapshot into my world....
I have a G4 with all the modern upgrades and softwares as far as I know. High speed-cable modem from Comcast (the fastest they have)
I am downloading 3 DVDs at the same time. download rate is approx. 20-30MiB.Upload rate is no more than 22MiB on average.

Much of this seems slow to me. For example I am currently pulling down the Grateful Dead/Dylan 87 DVD. 44 peers download speed is approx 27 MiB. I have 150 hrs to go and I have already spent 24 hours on top of that.

I guess I am looking for some feedback as if these download rates are average. Or if I should try to make some other adjustments.

Thanks for any feedback!
