12kbytes/s up is about as much as you can get from 128kbits/s...

I was downloading last night as well (ta). I seemed to have ports open
on 6881, and ports open to 6881 to other people's machines, so
presumably people were downloading from me as well. Maybe you can only
"seed" if you have the whole thing? I've no idea, only downloaded
the
client app yesterday :-)
