# Bad port forwarding, probably
but I'm not fucking with it, as it's connecting, which is good enough for me. We're using wifi, and we're the kind of technosavages that don't entirely know how we got it to work in the first place, so we're not going to change ANYTHING.

# If all your torrents get poor speeds then it'll be a port forwarding issue, which is easy enough to fix.
If it's just the odd torrent then it'll be poor seeding.

# Well, if you know the name of your router, then tap it into www.portforward.com and it'll tell you what to do.
But it's basically just a matter of allowing the correct ports to be open to traffic. Tap in your internal IP into your browser (192.168.0.1 - usually. Tap in ipconfig into cmd to find out what it is). Then you just have to navigate the menu to allow certain TCP traffic through the correct ports (which you can set in your torrent client).

# ppft.
That is clearly wrong. I've been with C&W/NTL/Virgin for donkey's years and it's never been a problem.

I got the whole of Dexter series 2 in under 2 hours.

# I've had years of NTL
haters and it does my head in. I'm the one sat here with 20MB cable meaning whenever I want to watch a TV show I start it, go make a brew then sit down to watch it. Nowt wrong with Virginmdeia ( who are still NTL, they just bought the rights to the virgin media name )

with torrents. Your ISP might throttle the ports that are associated with torrents so you need to use a client that you can change the port. You need to ensure that the client, and the ports are having no issues with the firewall and ten you need to ensure that the ports you use are forwarded to the router.
Then you have to look at the torrent, how many seeders to leechers, then you have to hope that you get connected to the few that have a decent upload speed. You are only ever as fast as the people you are connected to.
There are individual client settings to make things faster but we could be here all day.
