This was my assumption too, but it don't seem to be doing that, got more than enough seeds, (20+ seeding, hitting as high as 50 occasionally)
Check Torrent client for any max DL restriction, - none,
OS config ? - What to check here, didn't know the OS could restrict download speed.
This router config - what could be the problem here? I am having a running fight with my ISP - I should be getting 512KB he has set it for 512 but for some reason it Maxes out at 240k consistently (that is for speed) what could be the reason for torrents DLing at only 50% caacity and yes - everything else (net surfing etc) comes to a standstill.
