that link does not work is there anywhere else i can get it?

Click on the box that looks like an EXE file OR the filename beneath it.

Azureus works well for me.

When I had 576/256 adsl I set the upload rate to 16kbps and the default max uploads to 3. Download speeds were up to mid 60s kbps and averaged around 30 kbps.

Once you have a download started keep hitting the manual update button until you have an acceptable speed, provided there are enough speedy connections in the swarm.

Also remember that with BT you normally start slow and build up speed and, if it's a newly seeded torrent you will go no faster than the upload speed of the seeder.

If you are using Azureus, what is the number to the right of "pieces status" in the torrent details>general window?

If it is less than 1 you are stiffed. If you do have seeds (100% ers) in your swarm then all you can do is wait and follow any advice offered about firewalls, routers and port forwarding to see if you can go green.
