Faster than a speeding bullet
So a few months ago, my 100 mbit internet service suddenly started feeding me 230 mbit, more or less. (except for those random times my modem seems to drop to 12 mbits and needs to have its power toggled.) That's quite cool. I can download all the torrents for the week in a matter of a minute or two. Upload speed though, doesn't even come close to maxing out the 12 mbit upload speed, so it can take a week to serve up my usual 2x seed.
But if it's last week's torrent, it can take even longer. I think this is possibly a problem where the whole Torrent algorithm breaks down a bit. For dozens or hundreds of hosts to serve up little bits, they have to be online and the torrent has to be active. But now, the flurry of activity when a torrent is first released can be fully sated in the first day (Especially when people don't seed). High bandwidth means that you're in and out before the next guy (other than the original seeder) comes along.
Or maybe it's something else that slows down my seeding that doesn't appear to me as any kind of net blockage. I have to say though I've been really happy with Comcast's lack of interference, especially compared to past ISPs. But maybe that is the benefit of huge bandwidth. A few weekly shows has virtually no impact on the network, so they don't need to control it.
Now if only I had the time bandwidth to watch them all! I swear I've been pulling down some of the shows .clue has been posting about, and I haven't even started on them! Urusei Yatsura has replaced Spy x Family as the one show I'm able to get through as soon as it's done. Maybe once Christmas vacation starts....
