2 mbps connection and getting 10-15 kb/s in torrents!

I use a lot of private and public trackers. My ratios are good in each one of them. I used to get around 250-300 kB/s download speeds but all of a sudden I am getting around 10-15 kB/s. I have tried different clients but still getting the same speed. I get around 260 kB/s in Internet Download Manager even now! I am using TATA Photon +.

Check your speed here-

Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test

Torrents often clow down due to peer , seeder and leecher problems...so remain calm....

donno about tata photon + but I am on bsnl 600 combo 2mbps and I am also getting 35-40kKBs download speed I also used to get 210KBps-220KBps

^^ Check if any other software is using the Internet....Game or Windows update or AV update...

Do a virus check too..

Tata Photon+ gives me sh$$ DL speeds. I think they throttle.

Well, I used to get around 300 kB/s even in torrents. All of a sudden it has decreased.

This should be the issue. I always hated Torrents for their slow speed, but once my friend told me to search for High peer, seed ones, from then I am getting 180-210 KB/Sec

, but I still hate torrents as they have so less review and comments for an item

You may try torrent accelarator. But be carefull not to install malware.

you can try Newzbin as a torrent alternative
no seeding, only max speed leeching (or so i've heard)
just search for some free Newsgroup indexers and a Free Newzbin Client like HelloNZB or SabNZBD

Seems like the same problem is happening elsewhere also :-

^^ Some ISP's throttle P2P traffic, so check that out.
