John: Image works for me in both IE and Firefox. It's just a JPG.
A torrent is a way of sharing/downloading files, in a peer-to-peer method. It's a bit like a more compact and localised version of Kazaa or similar p2p software.
Blizzard's updates and stuff for World of Warcraft are distributed using a bit-torrent client. It means that people upload while they're downloading, so it takes stress off their servers.
I think I've got 350kB/s before. I don't think it'd be possible to get much higher than that, I have a 4Mbit cable connection.

Btw, no images in any of your threads every appear for me using IE. What format do you put them in?

This was while I was uploading 2 megabytes a second on IRC and downloading something else at about 500.
My fiberoptics could handle more but finding all these things to DL is tough
