    im in a similar situation myself ive got ntl 750 and ive never seen a torrent go faster than about 25kbps ive got all the port fowarding on my router sorted and ive changed the port azureus is using to an obscure one just incase ntl are throttling the bandwidth on 6889 but still my torrents usualy average about 3kbps if ive got a few of them on the go. :confused:

    have you tried changing the port that azureus uses , i think its in tools.. options or configuration or something on azureus. change it to any number between 7000 and 45000.
    its got me confused aswell. i can download at 75kbps from sites on the web so 25kbps max on bittorrent is crap

    edit: im in d2

    You can set it to any port you want but the default ones are 6881-6969. Have you tried downloading a different torrent file. The general speed can vary from transfer to transfer. Try one of the files on animesuki. The new ones on that site usually run at the fastest speed.

    It seems to be all NTL users that are having this problem, I have a 750k ntl connection so I should expect a download speed of 90kb/s but I never get more than 14/15 and that is an exception.
    First of all I tried azureus and always got a yellow light and speeds of 5k generally, then I tried Bit Tornado and got the same results and now I tried bit torrent/storm of whatever and still the same.
    I have a netgear wireless router and I am using zone alarm pro on some machines, i also have forwarded 6881 -6999 on the router on tcp i think and triggered them as well.
    I can just by pass the router and connect into the modem and disable the firewall but I don't think either of them is the problem, however I do think it is a NAT issue and even though I live in London, I imagine NTL's service to be the same. I know the ip address on the net see's corresponds to the ntl server and not necessarily my laptops ip address and I think that has something to do with the problem.
    I am really open to any suggestions you might have to rectify the problem as it would be nice to download videos and make the best use of my connection.
    Thanks for taking the time to read this.

    Try just plugging the modem straight into the pc without router or firewall running. If it works you will know its a router problem, if it doesn't its a NTL problem.

    This problem is brought up all the time. Just because you can download at up to 180KB a sec and a torrent file has 50 seeds and 50 peers does not mean you will be downloading at 180KB.

    If you are downloading from a public torrent site you will not get as fast downloads as you would from a private torrent site. Members on a private torrent site will seed the file (in the rules) where as on a public site once the file is downloaded they switch off.

    I find that on the private sites I get max downloads of 180KB where as on a public site I get anywhere from 1KB -> 80KB

    Exactly Mick. If you are downloading from public torrents, people who are seeding might have crappy upload speeds or have hundreds of leechers. This isn't how BT is supposed to work. If you are a member of a private tracker, you'll see they have rules regarding leeching, and ratios. And most people with 100mb pipes will be happy to seed files for you.

    No, they don't. Linking to warez gets you a swift ban.

    Moving this over to nets/comms aswell.

    Disable uPnp, people often finds it causes NAT errors. Its in the azureus options somewhere.

    What the hell are you using bittorrent for mp3s for anyway? Use Kazaa ressurection(lite) or something similar. If you can't find kazaa lite I could send you an old installer exe I have by email. Pm me. Bittorrent is overcomplicated overkill for mp3s.
