Forward your linksys router, See what speeds you get then. Also download well seeded torrents :P
Remove your email It's against forum rules if someone asks for it, PM them with it.

Yes, the more seeds, the faster the download.

Bob click on this button 
And basically yes the more people seeding the better speeds you will get, It also depends on the health of the torrent and the status of the tracker :P

I have a problem still, after following your guide. And it is EXTREMELY irritating to me right now.
I'm on shaw extreme, 7000/1000 kbs cap. I've done the port forwarding, and I'm using Azureus.
But I've got a problem still, I'm getting SHITTY downloads, nowhere near what I should be getting if I understand correctly. I'm running anywhere between 1-15kbs and sometimes it peaks a bit higher, but not much more.
When tried with bitlord I usually just cap out at 15kbs, and no I don't have my download limits set, and my ul is set at 20kbs. This is really irritiating the shit out of me. Can you please help

Dojuh, set your upload to at least 72 KB/s, 20 is very low for your connection.

I upped my upload, and .. I guess a bit of improvement? But still some lagging down that wont go past 10 kb/s and.. I really wont peak any higher than average 50-60kbs.
Anything else I can do?

dojuh,
well...Id say a 15 KB peak to a 50 KB peak is a pretty good improvement. :)
Now, do you get a yellow or green smiley face while using azareus?
Do you use any firewall, eg. Zone Alarm, Windows firewall, McAfee, Norton, etc..?
Also i would like you to downlaod the torrent with the most seeds you can find and wait 10 minutes and tell me what speeds your getting, with your connection you should be getting an average of 80 KB/s.

Dojuh,
The conclusion is that you are either on a college netowrk which blocks bandwith, or an ISP that blocks bandwith. If its the ISP try downloading at 2am or later (up until about 9am) as most ISPs allow full bandwith during these periods.

Hi! First of all thanx for the guide!!!
I have a question... I've seen in a lot of download sites a program called "BitComet Acceleration Patch", it claims to boost your download speed to at least double. Now, is there anyone out there who has tried it??? Does it really work???

I once got up to a 25 ratio on a 698MB video. Nice guide J-Kwon. Really like BitLord. BitTornado uses too much RAM for multiple dls.

Man I've been with Bitsoup and Araiditracker for god knows how long, Public trackers are for those people who don't want to register with a site that might get raided
I have high speeds anyway, 120KB/s on 1meg aint bad
Rikoshay, Artic Torrent may be a better solution, find the link on the first page. It doesn't use alot of CPU and RAM

Added to guide -
BitTorrent Jargon & Language Explained
Next you need to understand the language and how it works. Here's a rough translation:
A Seeder = the one(s) with the file
A seeder is uploading, to get a file you need at least 1 seed in the swarm
A Leecher = the one(s) without the file (also known as a peer)
A leecher is downloading from a seeder (and most of the time is also uploading to other peers/leechers too)
A Tracker = the thing that keeps track of who has what and what pieces
There are many trackers out there, some public and some private
A Swarm = the group of computers involved with any one particular torrent.
The number of computers that the swarm contains is found by adding the number of seeds to the number of peers.
Ratio = the amount you have downloaded compared to the amount you have uploaded. Also referred to as your stats. If you use Bit Torrent you MUST upload/seed as much as you download/leech.
Reseed = asking someone to repost a torrent that has no seeds

I dont know why everyones having so much trouble. The only trouble I have is lime likes to eat resources and freeze. Other than that...I have seen times when I hit a 1000 kbs downloading ten movies. I have a 4 mb down 4ook up I believbe. No firewall on except for the router and im running cable broadband.
The secret is is you need to tweak the registry so you can download faster. Testmy.net has a forumn with some good proggys like cable nut. Xp smoker does a good job of optimizing the ccnnection and so does speed up my pc.
