bittorrent slow?

[timepiececlock]

I'm trying to download something from Bittorrent and it's going at 5-7 KB/sec. I have DSL, and that seems incredibly slow to me. Is it supposed to be this slow?

It took at least half an hour to connect, and has been holding at 7K for about 45 minutes right now.

I had my first try at Bittorrent today. Left it 11 hours, came home, and it still had 3 to go! Argh! Plus, I'd uploaded a great heaping chunk of my bandwidth. It's evil, I tell you ;)

Glad you're having more luck now though!

I'm not sure I understand what you mean...
