guys.....i hv mtnl broadband connection....
after checking the speedtest.net site, my avg download speed is : 1903 kb/s
and upload speed is :145 kb/s.
But in utorrent i get the download speed of merely 30-35 kB/s ....... After some tweaks n tricks from the other post...now i got 30-40 kB/s...
Exceptionally, some times it shoots to 60-70 kB/s.......(but rarely)
Is this enough with my connection..........?????:(
I am not getting what to do now...
is this a problem of port forwarding..........??
plz help......
(plz refer to this post of mine too.....)

it depends on the number and distance of the Seeders. Everything is fine with your connection ;) So chill and enjoy ;)

also i recommend go for: *azureus.sourceforge.net/

it's the best with lots of speed controlling options ;)

dude i already said it depends on the Distance of the Seeds. Also if you don't upload from your side than also you will get less speed, this is the main thing that is to be noted.

If you are just a leecher,who only downloads than you will be automatically assigned lower speed slots by torrents. Read here:*en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_(protocol)

So always remember:

1. Upload from your side too.
2. All it depends on the no. of seeders and distance ;)
