download speeds
 

i use bittorrent to download my torrents with, but the download speed seems to be limited. whether i am downloading 1 torrent or 5, the overall total download speed never seems to go above 250Kb/s. is there any reason for this?????

Is this 24/7 or only in the evening? If only in the evening could be traffic management.
Are you using a router or connected directly to the modem? If using a router, have you tried it without the router?
Is your torrent client configured correctly for your download speed? Check the settings in preferences.

250 kbps or 250 KBps? What speed are you supposed to get? 250 KiloByte/sec would be the most you'd expect on a 2megabit line.
