Hi, I've started dowload files with BT, but I've problem with configuration.

My is an Office LAN ADSL connection that usually work with 32 kbps more or less.

My problem with BT is that my speed is always low at about 2,3 or 4 Kbps, can anyone tell me how speed up it ?

THX

Does your BT client tell you how many seeders/leechers there are on the file you are d/l?

If there is plenty of seeders/leechers then you can try and restrict your uploads a bit if it lets you.I use BT 3.2.1b CVS (experimental) and that one lets you restrict uploads and your downloads get faster.

How many seeders are there? I have tried files with 50 seeders and 300 leechers before and only gotten a couple of k's and then tried ones with 5 seeders and 50 leechers and gotten 125 k's.You got to hit the advanced tab and see what's going on,how many people are actually letting you download etc.You might want to find another copy of the same file on a different site and try it from there.

i thought that if the upload is slow, the dl is slow

Usually works well.
I only do it when Im really struggling to get any d/l speed and I always seed for at least overnight on unlimited when I have completed,just to make up for it. :D
