My Torrents download slow

I'm using Azureus right now, but I have used uTorrent and other applications in the past, and the speeds weren't any better. I was downloading an Ubuntu ISO from their website through torrent, and it took 2-3 days. But downloading it directly from their website only took 1-2 hours. When downloading from them directly, I get 125-133kbp/s average, but nothing even close to that when using torrents.

I believe I've got my ports properly forwarded, is there something else that could be screwing with it? I don't have any other firewall except that of my router, and I run no anti virus programs.
 
Just google it info all over the place. Sounds like you want to open some ports on your firewall. Oh and share to bring up that ratio.

You need to go in your firewall and set up some port forwarding so that requests in a certain port range are forwarded to the system you are running your torrent client program on. Then you need to configure your torrent client to use that same port range.
 
I suck at port forwarding. I've tried forwarding the port for Virtual Server, Application, Firewall, etc. I even tried putting this box in the DMZ and even that wouldn't work.
 
Yes, the same has been happening to me.

Speed goes up to around 130 for 10-20 minutes, and then 1-8 KB/S (FOR HOURS,and then sometimes up to 150 or so) it's annoying as hell.
 
I use uTorrent. Azureus never seemed to run fast enough for me and I know how to forward all the ports, etc. uTorrent is just plain faster when set up correctly.
 
uTorrent has a port forward tester, Azureus may have something similar.

Sometimes routers have problems with uPnP, so you might try disabling it from the router as well as from the application. Also updating firmware on your router may help. I know my Linksys won't put a machine outside/DMZ no matter what, but whatever, your router should at least have no problems forwarding ports. Also try static IP in Windows, it's recommended when forwarding ports.
