stop all programs that are accessing the internet, then run a speed test and post the results:

which bittorrent client and version number are you using?


try connecting to an open office torrent:
http://borft.student.utwente.nl/~adr...ll.exe.torrent

see what kind of speeds it gives you. it will usually come close to maxing out your connection.


also, your ISP could be employing traffic shaping, use a client that offers protocol encryption (utorrent or azureus):
