I have about 16 seeds and 39 peers. I'm getting an average of about 80 down. I got a 1.5Mbps connection, so maybe it will speed up. I went to sleep with it running, but accidentally turned of my pc at about 2am...lol

Which torrent place are you using?
 
I've been playing since March of this year. I have characters on Beta, Beta 2, and Test 3 if anyone wants to join me for a evening of fun.

Click US torrents, then get the Open Beta.

Now I have about 21 seeds and 75 peers, getting about 120kB


 
I was sucking down at approx 450 kb/sec earlier. it was pretty nice. Downloaded the entire thing in just over an hour.
 
Possible Collector's Edition "Pets" :

I logged in late last night and rolled a new character. In my inventory I found a "Special Gift" for buying the Collector's Edition quest item. I turned to a nearby NPC, completed the quest, and got to choose from the following pets:

Mini-Diablo (with Lord of Terror for a guildname)
Panda Cub
Zergling

After you make your selection you get a soulbound item which will activate whatever pet you chose. They follow you around, but do not help do anything nor do they seem to level up at all.

Still, they were pretty cool, especially the mini-Diablo.

I created 4 more new characters and got the "Special Gift" each time.

These seems to be what you get as a "pet" for buying the CE.
 
Un-official poll Pure speculation

🙂 I bucked up the $7.90 for Fileplanet saturday night. Got my free Stress Test / Open Beta Account. Let it DL over night @ an avg of 170Kb. Spent a nice chunk of time playing yesterday/last night, my Pally is up to level 8.

Although don't know how much I'm gonna bother with it since I have to go pick up my copy of EQ2 on my lunch break....
