Bittorent is now slowing down as more and more bittorrent users limit there upload with there client or with Netlimiter. This is then slowly stopping the big downloaders from using it as they can not get full speed on bittorrent, They then look at other options which is News servers.

Bittorrent speed also depends on how many seeds you have. Personally i have downloaded the knoppix dvd iso file 3.11gb at an average speed of 75kb/s on the 2mb line.
I think if eveyone was more willing to allow things to take a bit of time to download then you wouldn't see people moaning about 10mb having caps.
Myself i find the 2mb line is more than adequate for speed, with the added bonus of no cap!
