BitTorrent question

[Mike McKinlay]

I believe the download speed depends on how many people are currently logged
on and using torrent, as it uses a files sharing system. They must also have
the files you need on their system. Hope I not stating the obvious. lol

FWIW, the first has jumped in download speed, but it's still 1/2 - 1/3 the 
speed of the second. Guess I just need more torrent users downloading
Slack's 
disk 1...
