I gave up on bittorrent. I found a mirror in the UK that is giving me 347KB/S. And I have > never downloaded at that speed before. I'm not even in the UK. I'm in the US. The thing with bittorrent is that you need a number of people using it to get benefits, and you get better d/l rates when uploading. Usually a bittorrent download starts rather slowly and speed increases later on. Regarding your earlier question: it is uploading segments you already have to other bittorrent users. Go and read how bittorrent works (http://www.bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/).
