My cable connection for bittorent is getting anywhere in the range of 4-24 kbs per second! my share rating is at over 1.600 and i have the uploads set to unlimited, so what the hell?? i get at least 60kbs on kazaa lite. :huh:

try sum other torrent. it depends on the seeding of the torrent and if there are 10 seeds and over 50 ppl are trying to get that file, dont expect a lot of speed

Uploading slowly to someone on BT won't typically net you a return favor of them uploading to you.
"unlimited" uploads means each upload will get 1/unlimited amounts of your bandwidth... guess what, you don't get much in return for that!

A well written guide to the life of a torrent which should answer some of your questions.
