Sky by broadband slow

I'm playing with sky by broadband and it seems decent enough. Main problem though is the downloads only seem to go slow. Is it just me?

Cheers

I usually tend to leave it overnight, by the next morning they always seem to be complete. Usually i only download 1 at a time though, and it's based on p2p. If you have a capped connection it's worth being a bit careful as the downloading continues even if you exit the sky by broadband prog. You have to kill the process through ctrl+alt+del, i think it's kHost and kService.

Learned two things here. Didn't know it was based on p2p. Does that mean people have to have the software running for me to download it from them? That's limited to say the least.

Didn't know it downloaded whilst closed either !
