I'm from Montreal, Canada. The speed with BT (bitComet) is ridiculously slow. You are talking about 5k/s for older links and about 25k/s for newer ones. Of course the speed depends on how many people are dling at the same time and whether one is using dial up or high speed internet, but CB is more reliable. At least for recent links, the speed is always at 50k/s. It is also easier to dl some older, hard-to-find dramas (depends on whether the CB has the files or not).
