I've been using bitlord for a few years now but lately everything seems to be slowing down on it. I try and download a file with over 100+ sharing and it just doesn't seem to budge. Can anyone else suggest a Torrent download program?

I use utorrent myself, only problems I've had it having to open ports on the router.

Are you sure it's not your ISP throttling your connection?

Definitely uTorrent.
I used to use Bitlord and then found out it was actually a virus or something and basically the same program as Bitcommet only worse. Made the change to uTorrent and haven't looked back tbh. Far better program.

uTorrent was wank on my PC so I chucked it. BitLord was fine to start with then slowed right down, BitCommet so far for the last several months has been fine. Was getting speeds of 732kb the other day d/l - on a 7.5mb connection lol.

That's not a bad speed tbh Rich, in my experience on a good day I can get in the 400-500kbps region on an 8Mbps connection 
It's important to note (if you didn't know already) that broadband speeds are advertised as Mega bit which people confuse with Mega Byte which is totally different. Just so you know not to expect downloads going at 7.5MB/s

Yeh I rarely get the speeds I'm told I should anyway lol. In general I'm too bothered as long as it all works at a reasonable speed. Which it does if I don't d/l at peak times (which I don't anymore!) Hence why I was getting good speeds the other day me thinks.
