bit torrent and ADSL

since getting my new connection, i have noticed my downloads are slower despite having twice the download speed, i have opened the ports on my router, but i still get max 60-70k, at burst speeds, most of the time it sits at 8-20kb/s, so is there anything i can do ?

Re: bit torrent and ADSL

Bit torrent's download is suppose to be proportional to the upload, but if you set the maximum upload just below the speed of the connection you get a performance boost - I'm not entirely sure of the technical reason - it's just my experience.
