I am using torrent files for downloads for the first time. They seem to be working, but nowhere near the download speed I would have with that many hosts. I have 8 hosts downloading at about 17kb. If that were a .mpg file I'd be up in the triple digits. Is there something I'm doing wrong, or something I can change to get better download speed?

My setup is for cable speed internet, 2G ram, XP. Thanks.
