Re: Grand Designs Episode 3 BitTorrent Release

["egelbeertje" <r_d_k@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

just started to leech all 3 episodes. At current rate it will take
about 24hrs for ep2 and 3 and about 200hrs for ep1.
I'll keep them open on the weekend (not during friday since i need my
pc at work - firewall stuff) but only have 5kB/s upload to spare or
I'll blow my UL limit of 1.5gb/month.
