My interest in BitTorrent is not for Kazaa-style P2P file sharing. I just wanted to know if it was useful to download those large game demos I keep seeing linked at Blue's every few days. I just tried it for the "War of the Ring" demo, and it is working as advertised.

For a brief moment, I thought it was working horrendously fast, and then I realized that the progress bar was merely indicating the time it took to allocate the disk space for the incoming file. After the initial file allocation, the download proceeded at a more understandable (yet still nice) rate.
