I've got an megabyte per second connection, and it's wasted on uTorrent because 98% of the seeders are in the US.

We just need a link between the two. - EmileVictor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4It should also be good for countries in Oceania such as Australia who will be able to route faster internet through asia to america. Currently we have a relatively low speed link to America.
