Would you reccomend I use bit torrent instead ?..... > Jon. > Well I guess it depends what you want to download. I use the Azureus Bit Torrent client which I believe is in the Ubuntu repositories and possibly other distro repositories too. I got used to Azureus when I was using Windows, and I use it for downloads such as ISO images of Ubuntu (which I can download and then give a bit of bandwidth back to others). I've always found that thinks like eMule and eDonkey always have a lack of hosts with the files and it takes forever to download anything, usually ending up with nothing downloaded and a whole lot of frustration!!! This might give you a bit more of an idea of using Bit Torrent on Linux (although if you're running Ubuntu, I'd search for Azureus on Add/Remove Programs or through Synaptic first before trying a manual install).
