there's nothing wrong with your mtnl connection speed.torrent speeds are also dependent on the seeds/leech ratio.for torrent files that have a high number of seeds (ratio > 1), you have a better chance of maxing out your bandwidth.problem with most public trackers is that you seldom get good speeds.i'm using mainly private trackers e.g. link-removed, Torrent-Leech etc, which easily give me 220kb/sec torrent speeds on my MTNL 2mbps connection.my advice is, either try to find public torrents with high no. of seeds, or start using private torrent sites.of course, private torrent sites expect users to maintain a good download/upload ratio, in the spirit of sharing

40kBps on a 2mbps conn is NOT normal its way below normal........yaar go thru the thread again...there r a no. of thing which cud go wrong while using torrents........port forwarding, firewall blockin ports, unhealthy torrents and sometimes there r no reasons as to why ur torrent speed won't be as good as http. Like i tried using azureus but it jus won't dwld above 2-5kBps .....even after doin necessary things....so i use plain n simple BitComet.

Its not about MTNL its about torrents in general, all torrents are slow now days and there is a speculation that, MPAA has come up with some kinda software to jam the torrent speed on the network and also if you once in a time get high speed and get stuck at around 99 percent and wait for ever to download the whole file, know that, its Hollywood anti-priracy guys at work, they want to discourage torrent.
