Hey, I'm new to this forum and BT..I'm just wondering if its normal to have slow downloads even when you're downloading at 1000kb+/s...My download got a lot slower when I re-opened BT and continued downloading Naruto 51-75..It's downloading at 1236kb/s but it does not seem like it does..65 hours is a lot when you're downloading at a pretty good speed...Is this normal? Thanks ^^

Well, since your torrent light is green, I'm assuming you port forwarded the ports your BT uses (thats if you have a router). Also, where it says 1000 kb/s or 1236 kb/s is not the rate your downloading at, that is your TOTAL speed (with the 32 peers and 1 seed). You should only look at the download rate. Since you just re-opened the torrent, give it a few minutes and it'll get back on track with a faster rate. Since you have 32 peers/1 seed, you can probably get to maybe 50 kb/s?
thank you..and I have another question..Whats the difference between peers and seeds?
Seeds are people who are only uploading and have finished the file.
Peers are people currently downloading/uploading the file.
oooh, okay..Thanks NarutoMaster and kAi!
