torrent downloads very very slow/stopping?

[daman123]

hello,

lately i've been having trouble downloading torrent files (legal of course). i have tried switching clients, but that does not seem to work.

mostly the downloads just do not start, but i have some going really really slow (.4-.6 KB/s) which is confusing to me. I guess it's good that it's not totally down. i'm not very good with computers as you can probably tell. any tips to get me going again would be greatly appreciated.

i'm on a wireless internet connection if that helps [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

this could be alot of issues...
Read the faq avaible on the web and the wikipedia...
make sure you have port forawrding set up on your router (portfoward.com)

make sure there are a significant number of seeds/peers.

make sure your max up speeds down speeds are correctly set.. if you upload to fast no time room to download not going to explain just do it. I believe azeurus has a wizard in their options and tell you how to set it up using an ircbot.
