since the last 2 days my torrent speed has become very slow, im using bitcomet n i used 2 get more than 60kb/sec download speed which is now not going more than 15kb/sec. I know there isnt any problem with less seeds bcuz i put 10 downloads simultaneously n still get the same speed.
I tried other clients utorrent, bittorrent but still got the same slow speed. I cant understand the problem bcuz i never got it before.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

If this is w/ every torrent your isp might be throttling your speed.

Try peerguardian and see if this cures the problem.
Try lowering upload speed.

Are your "downloaded amount" and actual file size the same? You might be getting a lot of garbage.

Take note of ip and interactions with leeches and seeds. The greyed sections are allowed the highlighted ones are blocked.

i think your isp is throttling your downloads man, i had the same thing, i would get 30kbs on torrents and 430kbs straight off the web. so try using port 65535 (the highest possible) and enable encryption, also if you use utorrent try going under connection in preferneces and under proxy settings change it to HTTP and for port nuber type in 65535. tell me if your speed goes up, you can also turn of UPnP port mapping and chage protocol to forced under the Bittorret tab. Hope this helps.

Peace

Camaro17 is right. Its a likely cause.

Another thing which you must check is your firewall settings, sometimes (especially if you use a router) your speeds can be choked.
