Torrent Health of Linux

Xtras:
I chose to download Linux via torrent just out of curiousity, and because I needed the iso one way or another. Check out these torrent stats.

Seeders : 3426   Leechers: 1592

Now that is a torrent. According to uTorrent, even without the seeders, my download speed is capped.

NaRu:
that's a lot of seeders..... I wonder if I will max out my speed with that torrent (3.0MB/s)

Lupin:
A lot of those seeds are (1) webseeds, (2) hosted by academic institutions with ridiculous bandwidth

Yea. The Torrent is faster than direct download too, something you don't see often 8|

Xtras:
Indeed, I am currently testing Linux on a slightly older PC just for curiosity's sake. So far, I am fairly impressed at how good it is considering it is free.

I am running version 9.1
Aside from Video Editing and Gaming, it does pretty much everything else I need it to. Seems to be a good fit for netbooks.
