I've had a problem with using torrents for many many months, and I've been unable to fix it.

When using any torrent program my connection can just drop to 0kB/s (despite still being connected). It will usually take 10 to 20 seconds to fix itself and come back to normal.
Needless to say I've played about with many options in the client especially the number of connections and the download and upload speeds. I've been unable to get rid of the problem. Also I never seem to get any good speeds, even on torrents which are seeded well, despite having a 10Mbps connection. I'm using a port at around 55000, and the programs I have tried are Azereus and BitComet.

I have WinXP, up to date with the windowsupdate (I have also applied the fix to increase the number of connections above the 10 allowed.)

I really hope someone can help.

Thanks
