I used the >max_upload_rate = 0 to let it go at the maximum rate. That's about my max, but I know it's limited by my DSL connection, so no help there. >I tried with the ports open and closed, no difference. That seems odd.

Limits by Cox on BitTorrent? Competition with other Cox customers? Math error? Did you try restarting the client? (Sometimes that gets me a better group of peers.) >I don't mind running torrents overnight as seeds as nothing >else is happening anyway.
