Slow speed on highly seeded torret.. gah

[Omnacide]

OK i've gone though all of Ulty's guides before even posting this. Evrything as far as i can see is green and good to go. Now normally i'll download files at 80-100kbs granted they have the seeds for it. Recently i started downloading a torrent that has these stats

Seeds 3 (1323)

Peers 75 (25368)

DL 0.6-0.9kbs

UL 12.3-88.0kbs

I have a Non-Blacklisted Internet with roughly 700kbs DL and 350kbs UL. I have max connections for torret set at 80 and only 1 torrent limit dl with 0 speed limit. and 100kbs upload limit.

And as far as system specs go

Windows XP SP2 With TCPIP.sys patched

4gig Ram @ 400mhz

1Tb Raid

P4 3.0ghz 800mhz fsb

Linksys - BEFSR41 (no restrictions all ports forwarded)

I know the basis of a torrent relies on the fact that people seed it. But with the ammount of seeds on this torrent i cant see that people aren't seeding? Any thoughts or comments that might help appriciated

Any thoughts would help

If the OpenOffice.org torrent ran fine, then the problem lies with the torrent you're trying to download. More seeds != more speed.

To illustrate my point, I'll ask you this... does downloading from 100 peers on dial-up connections (each of which are uploading to other people as well) sound like it'd be fast, or does downloading from 10 peers, each of which are on 100mbit/s connections, sound faster?

Anyway, if there are a bunch of seeds, and it's progressing slowly, that's often a bad sign... bad meaning it might be a fake/poisoned torrent. What is the availability on the torrent?

Ahh well seems to be my internet company. They were doing maintance this morning and had everyones bandwidth cut down for the maintaince. Nice to know they sent me an e-mail or left a message on my phone :/ anyways back up to 80-135kbs
