Thanks. I am seeing 2 seeds and 2 connected peers now. For a while it didn't show anything for either then it started showing up. It's about 100 k/s now and have got a good part of the file though still about 40% to go yet. I agree with others that the PG #'s aren't the most helpful if you are downloading a # of the books for reading. You have to use a program to open them in order to know which is which especially if you want to read some of them before others. It's much easier if you update the metadata with the actual book title/author rather than something like pg1204 or something. I imagine such helps the database at Gutenberg keep track of things but for actual use it's a bit inconvenient.
