Getting low speed downloading torrents with many seeders!

Hi,

My connection is alright, everything works just fine, only when I download torrents which have like a 1000 of seeders the download speed is god awful.

Torrents which on the other hand have significantly fewer seeders are reaching full speed about 8 MB/s and there goes the thing I do not understand.

About this very moment I'm downloading at 100-200 KB/s TOPS!!!

The torrent has 1688 seeders and it says I'm connected to 35 of them.

What the hell is going on?

And so could be many hundreds of other peers.

I think the more seeders there are the faster the speed should be, or am I wrong?

Yes you are. It is a simplistic view of an ideal world.

For a start, trackers report peer counts that are cached, and may be months out of date. Until a peer actually connects it is not there.

There may also be many other peers besides your client vying for available slots.
