Utorrent

I am trying to download openoffice which is BitTorrent released. I have just installed Utorrent on Vista following the FAQ on the utorrent website. I have a 2mb connection via a router connected via the pcs ethernet port. What connection speed should I expect on downloads because the average download rate is 13k/sec, which is a bit low no?

I have configured my router is accept port forwarding, which has passed the utorrent tests.

So even though there are a load of peers, do you think my ISP is limiting bit torrent downloads. I am with Tiscali btw.

According to here they do: http://bbs.adslguide.org.uk/postlist.php?Cat=&Board=tiscali

People are also saying if you want out before the 12months is up to abuse your connection and after 3 strikes they offer you a mac.

Been downloading over night and I reached speeds of 190KB/sec! So they defo cap it during the day.

At the end of the day you get what you pay for. If I moved to an uncapped equil its and extra £10-20 a month. I prefer to wait a little longer for my download
