    Try utorrent, then download from www.torrentspy.com

    I get d/l speeds of up to 500k/sec sometimes. If you are getting slow d/l's, it may be a firewall setting, port setting, etc.

    torrents are dependent on seeders, if there is a low seed to peer ratio the speeds will be very slow.

    i use utorrent also, it works just fine but sometimes you just have to tinker with the settings to get better speeds!

    also might be your IPS has introduced 'Traffic Shaping Software'

    Designed to recognise torrent packets / p2p sharing programs and slow them down to help stop the illigal sharing of films etc etc

    azureus uses decentralized tracking (DHT)....this can mean an increase for speed for those who are having bandwidth probs.
