OK, I didn't know about the ports needing to be opened on my router. I've done that now, and I've stopped and restarted the torrent. Still seems slow, but I'm going to bed now anyway.

There we go, kids. Since Slack 11.0 is now out, this thread has run it's course.
Please direct any woo-hoos to https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...d.php?t=488898 - and don't forget, that's a celebratory thread, any problems, start a new topic.
