    Erm, torrenting relies on you uploading aswell, so increase your upload rate.

    Also torrents are usually very slow starting off because they're finding seeds, just give it some time and im sure it will pickup.

    Make sure the port you are using is open (portforwarding.com thingy)...then fix whatever on the router, and set the correct port in your client. This should eliminate any TCP/NAT errors.

    Although uploading DOES improve your bitrate, too much uploading will monopolize your bandwidth. Fiddle around with it until you find a good value; it should be higher or lower as the dl rate goes higher and lower.

    HAHAHA, YOU GUYS ARE SUXORZ AT TORRENTS!

    Nah, but truthfully, I could help you. Either do the port forwarding thing above, or just use UPnP if you're on a wireless network. Also, if you get into private torrent trackers, you'll get much better speeds. For people who'd like to know more, PM me. (It's not sensitive, but I'd rather not have it out to the world.)

    Also, as they said above, don't max your upload, but instead, cap it around 5-10 kbps lower than your max, that's a general good rule

    iSpy ftw. It's a really neat mod. I'm not allowed to say the actual names, yet I can send you an invite when I'm more comfortable with the community.
