So I decided to make the leap and try out Utorrent instead of streaming videos. I followed instructions on setting up a port. I tried a test download and it says my speed is around 88-91kB/s - is this good/bad?

Surely it should be more like 500kb/s???

alot of factors involved such as seeds leechers tracker blah blah blah torrent speeds will never be as quick as direct downloading make sure you have your download speed setting set to unlimited

I get a maximum speed of about 215kbps on anything.. hopefully my impending move will increase my speed
Depending on what you are downloading, 80-90 kbps should get it fairly quickly anyway (I don't mind waiting 2 hours for an 1 hour show)

quick and helpful tip, Lower your upload setting to around 6kb/s and it should use those slots for downloading.
What is your plan on Trishan? 1500 = 150kb/s, Also changing the settings to boost number of connections to around 750 and if doing multiple downloads tweaking it to 100-200 per torrent.
