    Hi, I have recently changed my provider from digiweb to ntl, the package speeds i had with digiweb was 8Mb and now with ntl it is 10Mb but when downloading using torrents before the download could reach up to 500kb/s and now i'm lucky to get 50kb/s! I'm not too technical really and would appreciate if anyone knows of anyway how to optimise download speeds, or if its even possible?

    How many seeds? A torrent is only any good if its being seeded and You're depending on the rate other people upload at

    A better indication of Your speed is a speedtest or even better than that download a big file from a fast server like this and tell us what speed You're getting after 5 mins
