    what speed internet do you have?

    when youve installed it, itle give you some default sppesd and figures which should be ok.

    you'll probs find that some stuff takes a cuple of hours and some other stuff will take donkeys

    Look for high seeds and low leechers when possible (S) and (L)

    Limit you upload to 12

    The less sweep nodes the better on these things

    watch out for passworded stuff aswell, half the time you have to sign upto their site to get the password for the stuff youve jsut downloaded.

    Stepping away from the RPU's for a second here, on ADSL (not cable) if your upload is running at 30/k a second and that's the limit, then your download speed will be impaired. My torrents now regularly get high download speeds if I limit my upload in bit tornado. On direct connect I can only download at a maximum of 6k when this happens, although bit torrent seems to handle it better.
