Re: KTorrent Slow...

Thanks, Colin.

Isn't there something I can do? Like add Trackers? If yes - where do I find
them? Is it at all related to the problem? Where can I find KTorrent
specific guides /HOWTOs?

Thanks!

If you are behind router, presumably you opened the necessary ports,
either with the uPnP plugin or by hand. That is the only configuration
ktorrent requires.

For the rest, downloads can take time. It all depends on the number of
sources and the bandwidth they have available. Sometimes you can get
a file in a few hours, other times it can take a week or longer. These
are things ktorrent has no control over.
