Why do you care about SUSE's bandwidth, it's probably much better than yours, and in doing so you are affecting other ntl customers.

You may not realise this but Suse and other Linux producers make little or no money from their releases. (Suse do charge for some; others like Ubuntu are totally free). Bandwidth costs them a lot of money, so one way of helping Linux devs is to distribute their distros via p2p.
The Linux sites themselves ask people to use bittorrent and to leave their client running afterwards as it 'saves us money'. It is called giving back to the Linux community, rather than just taking.
Neil, I know you think you are clever but trust me.. you aren't
Your patronising replies get boring very quickly. You refuse to acknowledge there are legal and legitimate reasons for running a p2p client 24/7 and uploading 1gig a day.
