Please be gentle cos Im a newbie to torrents.

I have a steady 4mbs download speed . when seed ing and uploading they are going out at decent speeds but downloaded are slow . I use demoniod torrents and initially they start fast 150mbs but generally quickly tail off to around 15 to 20 mbs (if i am lucky)

Anything I am doing wrong?

Cheers

What does "mbs" stand for?

Your ISP (Tiscali UK Ltd, DSL line) severely throttles BitTorrent traffic in most areas. Encryption settings in uTorrent might help...if only slightly.

Try the 1st and 2nd link in my signature for more help...and get back to us with more info.

.. It would be KiBps in uT not M___ ;)

Are you able to download AND upload that fast at the same time? Test with http://slackware.com/torrents/ Start a download... it will hit your 400 KiBps, then pause it after a minute. Start uploading, let it run for a minute, switch to Speed tab, watch upload line.. is it a horizontal line at your limit? What is that limit? Start slackware again, does upload continue at that speed?
