Hi, does anyone know why my download speed is irregular,
for example I downloaded a music torrent and it can reach till 170kb(less than 100 for seeders
and leeches). Then another time I downloaded another torrent(game or movie), it could barely
reach 30kb(more than 100+ seeders and leechers). In just a week back it was working fine and
this week have been eccentric n I dont remember changing anything too. Could you help me to bring back my usual speed? My previous speed is the same as the music torrent.

*both torrents are not downloaded 2gether..

Also Share rating 0.313. 17 peers 45.9% completed, 42 seeds, 3.998 distributed copies.( just 1 of the example.)
Could u guide me into knowing how to read.
Will not uploading much affect the speed of download?
Cos i dont seem to upload much usually 0-20kb while the download rate is much higher.

I am currently using BitTornado.

I remove all firewalls and is using a router.

ok well some seeders have slower connections so it kind of effects the seed you can upload from them :(

Got some questions ...
- how to check the reason why it is slow...
- is more seeders mean much faster downloads?

thanks

more seeders don't mean faster downloads all they mean is more chances of faster downloads 1 seeder is enough and you can get lighting fast speeds although i dout the first seeder will have super fast seed.
