After speaking to my Internet Provider they did admit throttling the connection , this is done randomly. I DID READ the threads about how to dodge around this problem in another area of POSTS here .. very helpful , a must read as I THOUGHT THE TORRENT PROGRAM WAS THE ISSUE that was not the case .. so found.. 1 reset modem / reboot computer once, twice a day, more if needed.. 2 keep the upload speed just under your up limit by 10% or so total. and. 3 limit the connections per torrent and overall total. curremtly running about 600 max connections. and rotate the library of files to appease client requirements/ratio. Am able to maintain 500 to600 kB/s Download with Upload 90 to 100kB/s , can bring in a 2GB file in an hour ,.. if exceeding the 110 to120 kB/s upspeed , downspeed drops drastically and can not be recovered. only a hard reset and delayed a reboot will bring the connection back to speed. this took a couple of months trial and error to refine this.. But too many connections and everthing stalls out. and have to start all over..
