For those interested in testing P2P speeds, this (torrent.unix-ag.uni-kl.de 08ed86d777e) torrent has been consistantly fast for months, and so would be a good test. This was what I tested to get the above speed - it was a 30 minute average.

For those wondering what the torrent actually is - it's the Knoppix 5.0.1 DVD ISO.

494099 2006-10-26 01:58:00 Sussed it. The secret is to accept Xtra's figures without refreshing the page for 7000+kb. 2124kb if I do!
But they are still always 200kb faster than www.nzdsl.co.nz ...funny that.
