I'm using Dapper and am trying to get the hang of BitTorrent. I've tried
a number of clients and yet my download speed seems to stay around 15

second (a 2 meg ADSL line).

I've set the port forwarding on my NAT router and opened appropriate
holes in Firestarter. I can see uploads going and incoming connections
on the BT ports (6881-6999). BitTornado reports is connecting to 20
peers for one file!

A lot of the BT clients *don't* use the official ports by default.
Try passing them options/configs to use 6881-6999.

Thanks, but as I reported in an earlier message, the problem is my ISP
who throttles BT traffic to about 20kB/s. I'm going to try setting up a
VPN connection to work and see if that overcomes their throttling.

Regards,
Tony.
