DL speed issues

[jiminut]

I have two torrents coming in right now, one from Lossless Legs, is chugging along at 93 kB/s, with 14 peers and 2 seeders.

The second, from the incomparable Trader's Den, is generally around 1.3 or 2.1 kB/s, although it occasionally pops up to the mid-40's. This torrent has 86 peers and 1 seeder.

This is typical of my dl's from TTD. On a good day I average 25.0 kB/s from Trader's, and on a good day I average 165 from LL.

Any suggestions?

For what it's worth, I'm using µTorrent right now.

you're not going to get good speeds on a torrent that has one seed and a high number of peers. no one other than the seeder has a complete copy of the torrent, and it will take a while for them to upload their copy to the swarm.
