i havnt tried it that much (only for new files) but i think bittorrent is one of the slowest programs ive used?

bittorrent has peak times for new files. it's all about getting in when a lot of seeds are available, rather than too soon (50-100 leechers all trying to download from the original seed) or too late (after a couple days everyone loses interest in sharing the file and closes their seeds).

Fastest - Kazaa Lite
Slowest - emule (took me an hour to download a 6mb file).

I used to think Emule was slow but after I've tweaked my settings and understood how it works, I'm addicted to it. The range of files is incredible and no fakes and corruptions. I use Kazaa for small files and Emule for everything else...actually haven't used Kazaa in weeks.

The thing with BT is someone has to be first , or second rather, and those early birds will be slower than than the people who are riding the crest of the wave a little later on but still they will get the file before the others, It will just take longer because they start earlier but if enough people jump on board it will soar ahead .

Bittorrent is crazy fast, but I've seen a lot of people who haven't configured their firewalls properly so it's very slow. People forget that WinXP has built in firewall too. When I turned mine off, speeds skyrocketed...
