    From what I've learned so far there is only two types of BT client out there. Those that allow a single download at a time (not including running mutiple instances of the same program) and those that allow multiple torrents and once.

    Some offer some nice features but None are faster than the others. Dispite what people say, they are run at basicly the same speed. The more upload you give to the torrent the faster your download will be. This is part of the python script that the original client is written in and all the others use.

    Just find a client that you like, use it, and give all the bandwith you can for the best results.

    if higher upld speed means higher dl speed, y is it that the only way 4 me to reach 400kb/s is if u share at 3kb/s?

    I am guessing that you don't reach this speed too othen.

    It depends on the number of seeds and leachers and the other users upload settings.

    The tracker will look for the best peer to seed the data to. If you are give 3 and everyone else is giving 1 or just leeching you will get the best downloand rate based on your upload rate.

    The other possiblilty would be that there are more seed than leachers (rare). In this case more people would be sending the data than those that need it resulting in some really awsume download rates.

    bittornado is just the new version of shadows.

    the last experiment version was S-5.8.11 i think
    and bittornado is like S-6

    it will soon have all downloads in one window
