[QUOTE="snarlyboy, post: 65891, member: 22574"] [b]this one is NZ specific...[/b] How do you guys actually get torrents in NZ??? I'm using Azareus and find getting torrents to be reliable and/or reasonable in download times impossible - and I think this is because of Telecom's crappy-ass 128/192K upload even though I have a 3.5Mpbs 10Gb download. What I've read is that torrents are throttled tremendously based on your upload speed - so who is your ISP and what package do you have to be able to reliably grab enough torrents for series or to be watchable instead of TV. I mean it took me 10+hrs to get one Conan O'Brien show that seemed to be seeded well. I can't wait for the govt to actually impose the regulation on Telecom and open up the freakin pipes... otherwise I can't see how torrent is usable in NZ.... but maybe I dont know what I'm doing. Any help in that regard too would be appreciated.. [/QUOTE]
