When someone sends you a direct email, the expectation is that you 
will send a direct reply.

In the past 1.67 hours, I've downloaded a bit more than half of the 
data in this torrent.

Here's what I'm I'm doing it with:
- Cable modem (Cox HSI, DOCSIS 2.0 Linksys CM100 modem)
- Linksys WRT54GL
- Cat5, Linksys switch
- Realtek RTL8111/8168B
- Sid, amd64
- kernel 2.6.32-3-amd64, r8169 driver
- transmission-gtk v1.93


Gee, I've got a lot of Linksys kit... It didn't used to be like that.)
