good question. In the last 18 hrs, I've seen more uploads than ever before (one Gnucleus 1.8.4.0 managed a 118MB .mpg @ an average of 32 KB/s), the searches are finding lots of good alternates of files I've been trying for more than a few weeks, and downloads are proceeding better than expected. All in leaf mode.

So--looks like it's already better here. I'll enjoy thinking this for now, even though it looks like some of the downloads aren't finishing properly.
