I've seen over 400 kBps (kilobytes per second) incoming on BitTorrent with

sure what all really effects it, but some A/B testing leads to the

happy b/c my share rating is over 2 (smiley), but with some rough
calculations my d/l rate is about 16 or 17 kB/s That's dial-up speed

I'm not so sophisticated as to measure everything that is going on,
and b/c i'm only doing light surfing at the moment, I don't care
whether my link is saturated.
What I noticed upon my first attempt with the 'BitTornado' bittorrent
gui was that it seemed abysmally slow (~3kB/s), but then I notice

It just spiked to 30kBps for a while. Still not wonderful,
but probably vindicates Comcast and my router.
Too bad that I need to shut down for potential convective
activity during my out for dinner time.
Oh, not

were throttling download rates for one

(of course, more people using that torrent will skew the numbers too,

I've tried changing away from the default ports. I've fiddled
with max_uploade_rate (in hopes of better tit for tat). It could be,
