    Hey, I'm getting terrible download speeds despite the fact that my uploads are flying. up/dn ratios are about 7 ot 8. whats going on?

    I thought torrent were supposed to help avoid leeching but i can't help feel i'm getting ripped off!

    BTW the downloads have been running for 12 hours

      Running 100% uncapped is not the best idea.

      Run with your upload capped to 80% of your line's rated upload (or 80% of the max upload speed you've seen so far) and see if that helps.

      ive been getting the same problem and ive tried limiting my upload speeds

      i used exactly the same settings on both g3 and azureus and the difference was huge nearly 60kbs

      Try setting the Choker options to Standard Bittorrent. And limiting your upload speed to 20-30 is good to begin with, just see what works best for you in terms of that.
