Why are torrents so slow?

Despite a humongous amount of seeds and my 8 mb line, it NEVER goes much above 50. Annoying.
What other way is there to download big, completely legal files? :( |

Torrent sucks, it's the worst download applet.

Well, the programs says the port I use is closed, but it works, so it isn't.

what about the number of seeders/leechers allowed? If you have too many allowed it could kill your download speeds.
Did you try alternative ports ( you might be blocked by your isp ) |

there's a good list to find a port to test
and I fully support Azureus. It grabs more memory as time goes on, but once you get the correct configuration, it's great |

Well, if I didn't have an open port before, I do now. And no difference. It isn't due to any limitations either, since I don't use any.
This damn piece of (utorrent) uses like 11 out of over 220 seeds. :mad: This is probably where the problem lies.
The upload speed is like 150 kpbs too... and the down speed a third of that. It makes me ING FRUSTRATED! |

The port IS open, or no traffic would happen. To be sure I set it to forward the port on my router, but that net service still says it's closed, so it's faulty.
I seriously wonder how torrents are so popular, being so slow. :mad: |
Hey just because you have a problem with your computer doesn't mean it's the same for everyone :p
I get 300~500k/sec downloads regurlaly and my upload usually runs at 100 k/sec ( I think that's the fastest it can go actually ) but like said previously you need to tweak your settings.
What software are you using? Look in the help file faq or whatever I'm sure your problem is covered ( I know the help with Azureus was real good ).
I see you edited your message:

It's unrealistic to expect to connect to a lot of seeders.
Also take into account if you are running on a public tracker there's chances that it's really slammed and download speeds suck ( I know I only get horrible speeds on public trackers ).
