Who here knows about BitTorrent?

Edited on Sun Aug-21-05 03:26 PM by brentspeak
I finally got DSL. So now I am able to -- or am supposed to be able to -- download bittorrents. Only thing is, after one succesful attempt at DLing a large file, no downloads seem to work properly.

Some of my downloads will start at something like 25 KB/sec, then the upload speed with surpass that, and eventually I'll be stuck with like 50% of file as DL speed is 2 KB/sec and UL speed is 50 KB/sec.

How are people able to download these large gigabyte files in the first place? Or, more simply: What am I doing wrong?
