Final Stess Test Download

[DeeBye]

I have no upload, but my download is nice - ~30 - ~60 KB/s. Can't complain with those speeds. ;)

I've just shut down the downloader, but for the entire time I had it running my upstream bandwidth was completely saturated. In that time, I downloaded ~500 MB and uploaded probably 750 MB. My internet connection was completely unusable. I've just now restarted the downloader to see if I can't get some better speeds.

30-60 KB/s is pretty lousy if you ask me. I've been on other large-file torrents from other sources that saw 150+ KB/s downloads with just a couple of seeders and maybe a dozen or so peers. You would think that with all the people jumping on this torrent that the speeds would be phemonenal, given the nature of bittorrent.

I'll be sure to leave it up and running to help perpetuate the flow of it, if only for us Lurkers. :D

Same here.

Edit -
Make that ~30 - ~80 KB/s. :D . . . Ah crud. Upload just started, and now I'm downloading at ~15 - 20. Bummer. Upload is around ~10 - ~25 KB/s.

Yep, that's about what I saw. I sure wish Blizzard allowed us to use REAL bittorrent clients to manage this download. Someone needs to explain to them what "saturated upstream" means for the the entire process.

Here's the funny thing, though - I used the client link provided by Bolty and, get this - it's downloading them into a Mac OSX folder! Figure that one out, eh? Something tells me my download is going to be for naught. :/ That would REALLY suck. :P

Does your folder look like this?

If so, that's what even the Windows client looks like. At least, that's what it's looked like for every other full client download. Stick with it.

During the time I spent composing this post, I downloaded 4.64 MB and I've uploaded 7.64 MB. My upload rate is maxed again, and I'm stuck on 6.00 KB/s download right now :(
