Here's how I did mine, and it worked great. (Left it up overnight last night, too.)

python /usr/bin/btdownloadcurses.py <torrent file/> --max_upload_rate 20

I got downloads in excess of 300KB/s at peak, and easily averaged 200.

I'm not a member, but there are **tons** of complaints on
www.madrakeusers.org
that everyone it downloading awfully slow.

Since I did the urpmi update to 9.2 a month ago, I'll just wait until
all the mirrors are not slashdotted!  ;-)



I think a big reason for the slowness is that the uploads are choking the downloads. Most consumer oriented broadband services are half-duplex, so if you max out your upload, you can't download anything. I set --max_upload_rate to about 80% of my upstream cap and my download took off. I went from 30KB/s to about 210KB/s.


 I tried doing that, but I'm getting a weird error from it...if
 anybody's got a clue, I'd be happy :)

Same kind of prb here... I'm going to switch to the rpms from texstar
and see if those work with this switch. right now I'm doing 8kbs up and
1 down.
