U don't just wait it out it will finish eventually.
With many new P2P u can not cancel Upload or redue speed and BT is one of them and best way to reduce the upload speed is to inctall netlimiter, try google for that, it will help u to reduce the upload speed!!!!
Doesn't that go against on of the main theories behind Bittorrent?Quote:

I use netlimter to keep my upload slightly below my maximum.
It improves my download by a large amount.
you can always get shadows experimental client which will limit ul speed, but with BT the ul affects the dl speed, so its best to avoid...id only use this if you were seeding one thing from scratch and wanted to slow down any other seeds.
This is an excellent feature, it prevents leeching unless you hack the program.
i tried suprnova links and the speeds were horrible aswell, same with some anime links, but with kazaa i get silly high speeds like 160kb/s ><
your behind a firewall or a router, cause the speedes with bt are twice kazza
I have never seen kazza go over 250k/bs but with bittorrent with plenty of seeds, man I'v hit over 400k/bs
you have to configer everthing, & open ports
read up on how to configer your computer
http://www.btfaq.com
I read the FAQ at first it seemed to work like 10 kb/s :D :P even though on kazaa i get 70kb/s, i was happy to leave it at that but now its back to 6 - 7 :D
and i'm not behind a firewall just that stupid XP one :)
I get 'decent' speed and i don't think i got a router and definetly not a firewall...
got 40kb/s while downloading an app.
Going to try downloading a game tomorrow with a ton of seeds, hopefully ill get up to 70kb/s ( atleast ) B)
it sucks as a firewall, but your still behind a firewallQuote:

as much as ppl grip about reading your faq, I think you should read a good bt faq

the slow speeds are because of the type and age of the torrent your downloading..say for instance a new movie is released,you'll see heaps of people..ive seen 150+ people sharing the one file at once, getting some un-real speeds
but should like 50 give speeds higher then 7 :) i will turn off the firewall and give it a try, eh i have no enemies anyway :unsure:
I didn't tell you to turn off your firewall, just configer it
I even gave you a link with insturctions on how to configer xp's pos firewall
should turn off xp's ang get a real firewall like zonealarm, zygate, or outpost
you can import the bad ip list from pg also
lol i know you didnt tell me to, i'm just a very lazy person who doesnt do anything unless he absolutly has to do it :lol: i doubt MS firewall does much anyway other then slow things down so i thought it better to turn it off, plus i read the FAQ, just made more sence to turn it off :)
Thanks for the help because i did solve a different problem through the FAQ that had to do with the speed.
Just got to get used to my laziness, if theres an easier way to anything, i will do it :)
If your uploads are maxing out, then most definitly your downloads will suffer. Netlimiter is a good solultion. The BT experimental client may work for some as well http://ei.kefro.st/projects/btclient/. Although the easiest solution for me has been to use Shareaza as my BT client, just gor to settings and choose there. Also simplifies shareing across other networks. Download Shareaza.
