Sorry that was a pretty dumb thing to say... I do think its baloney |
| 13 |
but saying that guaranteed someone would be rubbed the wrong way. Not |
| 14 |
a smart move in a request for help... |

To me, bitorrent is just more piddling around. You have to install |
| 17 |
something extra (don't you?) to use it. Its not fast at all. For the |
| 18 |
kind of size we are talking a dsl connection should handle normal ftp |
| 19 |
or any http download in a matter of a few minutes. I pay for dsl |
| 20 |
exactly so I don't need to mess around with downloads... |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
I guess I assumed someone offering such a download would have the |
| 23 |
necessary bandwidth. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
I wasn't concerned at all about security. |

Not to put too fine a point on it but: |
| 28 |
Plain old ftp should be all I need for something like that download. |
