 From what I can remember of his claims, it (downloading a torrent) over the
wireless connection works fine with XP and with UNR.  It's just some form of
straight Debian where torrent downloads fail.

i'm aware of that.
by misconfigured and flaky i mean possible flaws within his debian
setup and wireless driver.

He stated his torrent failures occur on both one rev of Ubuntu and one rev of
Debian--two Linux platforms.  My somewhat educated guess is that both revs use
the same version of the wireless driver and likely other network kernel code
that is different from the rev of Ubuntu which he has no torrent problems
with.  They may even use the exact same kernel rev.  I've not researched this
however.


Lets not forget that my *wired* system crapped out at 86% while downloading the torrent he supplied. Bouncing my WRT56GL solved the problem.

However, two other torrents I've downloaded (both "legally" on torrent) downloaded just fine.
