Slow speeds on only a few torrents

[TooSlo]

I've made an attempt to look through what feels quite a few topics and didn't really see any of this information and thought that I would ask a question.

I seem to be having a lot of problems downloading from three torrents in particular where I'm not getting above 3-4k/sec. I've tried the open office download, as well as several others that I'd completed with well over 200-300k/sec, so it really doesn't seem as though there is anything wrong with my internet connection currently.

I see the following under the Seeds column 9(628) and Peers 26(2429). Seeing these figures, wouldn't it be a fairly sure bet that I should be downloading more than 1.7k/sec?

Have other people seen any issues such as this? I'm getting a bit frustrated honestly, as other torrents are working without any issues, but these ones with hundreds of seeds are running at a horrible rate.

Thank you for any help.

Just because the tracker is reporting seeds/peers doesn't mean they are actually ON the swarm or that they ARE connectable. Are all of the peers you DO connect to nearby in th availability? If you are connectable with the green check network status icon there is nothing else you can do :/

While ComCast may do some disruption of torrents, I doubt they'd totally cripple your ability to download ones with so many reported peers and seeds.

Are you using the xx/384k (or xx/768k if you have the more expensive line) setting in Speed Guide (CTRL+G)?

There are also fake torrents with huge numbers of reported seeds...but you never connect to 1.
