OK, I've looked at the faqs and I've read the expert list. I'm still getting a max of 7.6 K/sec download speed where I should be seeing between 70 to 90 K/sec.
I fiddled with the download.py file, finally changing it to:
('max_upload_rate', 0, 'maximum kB/s to upload at, 0 means no limit'),
and
('max_uploads', 0, "the maximum number of uploads to allow at once."),
This increased my download speed from 2 something to what it is now, which is 7 to 8 K/sec. I tried "None, 13," but that caused it to bomb out altogether. I'm running bittorrent-3.3-2mdk which was pointed at by the Mandrakeclub site. I'm not running the gui I'm just running the ncurses version. Can somebody point me to a faq I haven't seen or tell me something I haven't tried to increase download speed. I've been downloading for two days now and I'm only at 5.9%.
TIA

You don't say which FAQ's you have read, so I will suggest there is a Club FAQ article near the top and a number of other articles just below that contain a lot of troubleshooting discussion. Here are a few more links I have googled:
