within minutes of this release there were nearly 100,000 people downloading/leaching and 13,000
uploading/seeding. super slow happens when soooo many jump on a popular new torrent. it will take
time for the ratios to even out and for download/upload speeds to improve.
be patient
currently at 50,000 seeders, 90,000 leachers, up/down speeds should continue to improve.
george marin better get back to writing or this series will out pace him! lol
if he waits another 7 years to release the next book, this series will have no choice but to end, or
go on with it's own merits. we're on book 3 for the movie, he's written 7 (though the last 2 were
actually one long book comprising books 4 and 5). he has two books to go in the projected series,
though between book 4 and 5, which supposedly had already been written..and all the extra time (6
years) was revising and cleaning up...that will project that the next book will take about 10 years
to complete, and the last a further 12. so about 22 years to complete the series based on g writing
style.
don't think hbo is going to stretch this series out that long. my guess is that if gf doesn't get
busy and write the ending, hbo will. and that will kill of any future readers of the series.
the other option is if hbo slows down and quits rushing thru the books (10 hours per book in george
martin world is far too fast!)....slow down hbo, get into further character development (like in the
books) that will make things last longer!
