Downloading via IE gets me 1.25mb sec, zooms through downloads, via DC++ very high speeds also, but with torrents, as soon as the torrent picks up more connections the modem cuts out. Thats not to say speeds aren't great cos they can be, it just cant handle many connections. I've used torrents for ages and never had any problems while on NTL 2mb broadband. I don't think it's a coincidence that the connection cuts out while using this file sharing method. This happens with/without firewall, or all other obvious fixes.

I shared this with the group on page 9 of this thread. It's definitely to do with either the upload speed or too many connections. Torrents with lesser activity don't seem to be hampered.
Swoopie, how often do you get speeds of 1mb/s with torrents. The best I've ever hit was around 700kb/s, but normally i average about 400kb/s. What client do you use, and what are your general settings out of curiosity. I use uTorrent.
