I just checked the fragmentation on the files in the second torrent (the sources). They are disasterously worse:

[root at fedora FC2-test3-src-i386]# filefrag *
FC2-test3-i386-SRPMS-disc1.iso: 23626 extents found, perfection would be 4 extents
FC2-test3-i386-SRPMS-disc2.iso: 66563 extents found, perfection would be 4 extents
FC2-test3-i386-SRPMS-disc3.iso: 120911 extents found, perfection would be 4 extents
FC2-test3-i386-SRPMS-disc4.iso: 112109 extents found, perfection would be 4 extents

120,000 extents ?!?!

No wonder my machine was reduced to less than a crawl.

Any hints on what I did wrong?
