Most likely a NAT of firewall setting. See if ktorrent can test these for you, as Azureus can. I have 116(3950) peers connected at the moment. Normally my upload/download ratio is 1.3, but I'm "Superseeding" now, so the seeding continues at full (1Mb) speed until I think it's enough. > Well, I am seeding both the 32 and the 64 bit version (with Azureus because > ktorrent insisted on downloading everything new). > I have *never* experienced bittorrent to give me a good speed.

I would understand that on a Windows thingy, but on Linux *you* are in control on what apps listen to which port.. > I've downloaded the isos with regular http/ftp and now seed them to help, but > as you I have dozens of "fully established" machines from which only a few > download anything.
