The computer shouldn't have much to do with how fast stuff downloads, unless it was old and had an old wireless card and the new one has an N card. The speed of the computer would affect how well other programs run while the torrent client is running, however. The speed of the download is most dependent on the quality of your internet connection and the seed to leech ratio of the individual torrent.
Anyways, I'm downloading the 720p version right now (1.45 gb). Should be done in a few hours. It isn't moving particularly fast right now, what with only 5 seeds and 31 leechers (500 and 5700 in total). Getting about 100kb/s down and 250-300 kb/s up. Even on good torrents I seem to max out at around 350-500 kb/s. I think comcast most be monitoring torrent traffic and cutting the bandwidth. At school with time warner I could get over 1mb/s.
Thanks for the post, I had forgotten this was starting up. Can't wait to watch it tomorrow evening.
