Can't stay connected to seeds/peers

[Leafy123]

Hello,

My problem is with low d/l speed, and when i look at the peer list i can't stay connected to seeds/peers for any long length of time. The maximum i d/l from each source is 10mb before the connection fails. This is also true for uploading.

I'm on BT and have correctly configured the ports on the home hub (according to BitTorrent that is)

I have the green light that the network is functioning correctly.

I have read the guides on here but nothing seems to mention this issue.

thanks in advance

British Telecom is known to interfere with torrenting.

If you've set uTorrent's settings too high for your connection, this would happen as well.

Combine that with a hostile ISP that throttles and possibly disrupts BitTorrent traffic, and it'd probably be really bad!
