I'm using bittorrent I'm wondering if my upload/download ratio affects how fast I get to download data. Most of the time, I can hit atleast 100 kb/s, but lately, with recent torrents with a lot of seeds and leechers, they only seem to be downoading at like 3 kb/s |

If you're using the "original" BitTorrent client (shit), it defaults to port 6881, which is technically the default BT port. However, most ISP's now block or throttle traffic to 6881. Do yourself a favor, download uTorrent (Linux: use Deluge), open a decent port on your router and set it to that. Other things can be a factor to. Just because a torrent has a ton of seeders doesn't mean you'll always connect to the fastest ones. Any firewalls you may have could potentially be blocking seeders too. |

if theres more leechers then seeders then that may be the problem.. + if your upload limit is below 8 i think it limits your download.. |

well, the only thing I ever saw about d/l - u/l is a tracker that checks if you cap your upload speed. If you do (ex: you limit to 2 kb/sec), you won't have priority to connect with 100k /s uploaders, etc. Aside from that, there can be ratio issues, but I've only seen that on demonoid so far. |

Also get Peer Guardian and I can set you up with some block lists that I got. |
