Default ABC bit torrent downloading

Hi all, my problem is not just with these torrents but with all torrents. I have 512 Broadband connection and normally get around 50k/bs. On the bit torrent it fluctuates greatly and most of the time is below 10k/bs. Anybody have any idea why this might be happening or anything I can do to fix? Thanks

Try turning down your upload a bit, it can slow down speeds.

It might be that their just aren't enough uploaders though.

Nah, it's not that. I always make sure my uploads aren't excessively big. For example, at the moment, download speed is 0.3 and upload is 0.1.

Do a speed test, take a screenshot of the results and post em, we'll see if we can setup a good upload speed and upload slots images/smilies/tongue.gif

Alrighty! I have been having the same problems as psicho again. I have done all this port forwarding stuff and turned down my uploads etc but i am not achieving any more than 10k/bs rather than 50. Is it becasue there are not enough uploads? If so can someone get their ass onto top gear 04-04-13. images/smilies/thumbsup.gif images/smilies/wink.gif I hate bing a novice computer user! It sucks!

I leave my uploads at max, and fifth gear downloads at full speed on my 256k line. Dont mess with the uploads, it can sometimes severely limit downloads as well.
