Bit Torrent Speeds

Many differetn things can affect your speed. How many seeders, haw many
leechers.

Sometimes they use your share ratio to set your download speed IIRC. The
more you share, the faster the download.

Are you behind a firewall? You need to have ports forwarded to your PC for
bittorrent to work properly.

Thanks.  Yeah, I've got a firewall, but I forwarded a port and cleared that
through the firewall rules.  The speeds I'm seeing are with a decent number
of seeders (as many as 70), but also a decent amount of leechers (as many as
120).  I thought that would get me a decent download speed.  I'll sit tight.
I'm still glad I can get the content, I just thought it would be faster.
