Does that look good or bad to you?
Im on 2meg and it seems slow to me surely it should be about 100 kb/s +?

I'm on a half meg connection and I'd consider that to be bad. Should be more like 200kB/s+. Change the settings to allow more connections per torrent, and check that the ports are forwarded properly to your computer.

Options, Preferences.
Choose BitTorrent on the left.
You'll see "Global Connections" and "Connections per torrent", change both of them to a higher number than they are now and click Apply, then OK. See if that helps.

Well mine are both set to 250, but Global set to 300 and Per Torrent set to 150 should be fine.

If you are on standard ADSL 2mb then it looks like your upload might not be capped, in which case this will slow down your torrent download speed and your internet generally pretty drastically. Set the upload to about 20kB/s if you are on 256kbps upload and it should help. Also make sure your router (if you have one) is forwarding the right ports to your machine.  I was getting 506kB/s the other day on torrents with Nildram up to 8meg

On Azureus you have to set up some rule thingies to get a decent d/l speed. Read the help file because I'm not sure what you need to do on Micro Torrent but I'm sure there is probably something quite similar

I don't really get this, I've changed just about every option under the sun and I only ever get about 25 - 30 k/s MAX on bit torrent.
If I add another torrent it then goes like 15 ks / 15 ks split across the torrents (still = 30k/s)...
I'm on 1 mb. but when I was uni I was on 2mb and it wasn't much different.

Which ISP are you with though Paul? Some of them traffic shape, which basically means bittorrent traffic gets put on the lowest priority with restricted bandwidth.

Its either a port forwarding issue or most likely the isp is traffic shaping.

I know you use newsgroups, but torrents work fine for me and i dont see the need to change. Decent speeds, good quality files with no fakes, and 100% free. :S

enable encyption to avoid traffic shaping, and also pick a high random port to use
