Slow D/L speeds

Hello,

I hope this hasn't been asked before, but here goes.

Why do I get such slow download speeds on Traders Den? I have been downloading the Jerry Douglas/Leo & Mike shows for 2 days, and I am still at 74%. For most of the download, there has been 1 seed, and my d/l speed was about 20 kbps. Now there are 5 seeds and I am only getting about 25 kbps. I am not firewalled, don't use a router so my ports don't need to be forwarded. I have d/l shows off etree with only two seeds, and was easily getting above 100 kbps. Does this sound normal, or is there something else that could be wrong? I am by no means complaining, I think the people on here are much more mature and friendly than other sites, I'm just trying to get a better understanding of Bit Torrent.

Thanks
