At 2 sites I left all four running overnight (GMT-0500), got all four
at both places, and dished out at least 2-3x the size of each. But I
had to kill them to preserve bandwidth during the business day.

If I can figure out how to restart using the already-downloaded images
as "seeds" I might run it again tonight after COB. Unfortunately here
at home when I tried restarting, it deleted the already-downloaded
partial files.

Here at home (cable) I just got disc 2, which is the one ISO most of
interest to me. One at a time seems to do much better. When I had all 4
going at once, NOTHING was coming in worth anything. At least now
(getting #1) I'm getting 20KB/s.

Another thing I noticed was a slew of firewall hits! Many of them were
outside the 6881:6999 range, which I had set to ACCEPT. I'm pretty sure
these are somehow related to BT, because they only happen during the
torrents, and otherwise my iptables logging is very quiet.
