People need to indeed keep seeding once they've finished downloading. Seeding isn't going to inpact much your web browing or gaming (as this can be adjusted in the client)

At this time I've uploaded 65 gigs at 1meg/s on both parts. And I'm not noticing it while working. So take a bit of time and give back to the community yourself guys, thanks ! ;)

All I shall say is that, I hope that users are not using "Super Seeding" or "Initial seeding" settings. As there is now more than 1 seed. This setting needs to be turned off on all client including the 1st seeder at realitymod.com (or where ever it was 1st seeded from). For them that don't know about torrents and how and when "Super Seeding" should be used. Look here Super-seeding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For them that don't care to read. It means that "Super Seeding" is bad when there is more than 1 seed. It slows the swarm down.

Whoa lots of Israelis taking interest in the mod of a sudden, how come :p .

Iam using utorrent too. I got it done in like a couple of hours with dl rates between 60 and 200. Did you check your utorren settings and the upload download limitations ?
Try changing your port, maybe your provider is slowing down the port you are currently using, thinking you are a naughty one trying to download avatar or something.

EDIT: I just noticed iam still seeding 0.874 o.O and people are downloading it. Lulz.

finished downloading part 1...
and when I come to run after the adminstration right window open I click yes and a black screen pops for a sec and closes... all I could read from the black screen was the word "Memory"
is this a problem with the file it self or because the file cannot be opened before friday?

Official direct download links will be given on release day. This pre-release is exclusively by torrent.

Patience is a virtue in PR ;)

Blehh. Maybe they should have split it into 3 parts :-P

The torrent speeds should be getting a lot faster now, as it looks like a lot of people (including me) are leaving their torrent uploading after they finish the download.
