That does seem low.  I generally can max out the download rate of my T1

receive incoming connections can greatly improve bittorrent rates.

Hmm, I actually have done this. In fact my upload rate was generally higher, by 50% than, my download rate.

When I started trying to BT the ISO's this afternoon at the office (on a 256 Kbps link), I had a whole 5-6 KBps upload going and 1-2 KBps download. Bleeping miserable, and noteworthy that download was lower than upload.


Got back to the hotel to try it later, on a 4Mbps cable modem (or something like that), and right now I'm looking at 340 KBps down and 30 KBps up. Muuuuuch better. <grin> Since I'm using the Windows BT client I don't know how to increase uploads or upload rate limits although I would do so happily.

On a separate question:

At home I have a 128 Kbps dedicated ISDN line: not blazing fast, but constant. I would be happy to put BT on my Linux box with the complete ISO set I download tonight at the hotel, and let it continue to upload for at least a few more weeks. Can anyone tell me if just putting the ISO files in the right directory is enough, and if so, which directory it wants?
