well...as the topic states? how long? at what speeds? using what dl program?
I'm curious cause I use to dowload games in 2-6hrs. But these games take eternity at like 20kbs.

I don't know, bruce. But one tip i can give u is this: if ur downloading let's say Splinter Cell pt, go 2 search, turn Autosearchmore on, and keep searching. ur speed will drastically increase. Good luck! ^_^

Here's a tip for you, since you're trying to be helpful :)

If you go to Search (http://filesharingtalk.com/index.php?act=Search&f=29), you'll see that your tip has already been used thousands of times :P

Anyway, I get a steady 58-59kB/sec download (512k adsl), so to download 5GB of data would take me about 25 hours

Far Cry and UT2004 took about a week on my torrent...I was getting shitty speed all the way.

Splinter Cell:PT took about 6 hours, though I will be spending another week seeding as my upload is so shit. <_<
