In my experience:
bittorrent is usually slow.
gnutella is usually quicker than bittorrent.

bittorrent is enforced uploading in a swarm as well as
downloading in a swarm (if there's many users of the same file).

Gnutella started out as 1 to 1 downloading, now it can swarm
the download as well. There is no enforced uploading in gnutella.

Downloaded the DVD, mounted -o loop, (upgradepkg --install-new)ed,
rebooted, LILO told me something about `over page size', panicked,
rebooted to FreeBSD, sought advice, on which I rebooted with a 12.0 USB
stick, got back in, ran liloconfig, and back to normal, for some reason.
(Yes, I have the DVD ordered. I good boy. :)
