Just for reference... I downloaded (and am seeding) the KDE iso, and it came in at over 1500kbps... took only a few minutes with KTorrent. I have not pulled down the DVD yet... just flagged the Gnome iso for download and it is also coming in at over 1000kbps. I have the ports forwarded... that is the only extra config I have done outside of KTorrent. Inside KTorrent, I have set the download speed to 0 (unlimited). Does your ISP do BitTorrent traffic shaping? I know some ISPs do... such as Shaw in Canada. They slow BitTorrent down to a crawl...
