bit torrent speeds, general question

Lately i have been connecting to around 30 peers a torrent, and downloading at speeds of 25-45kB\s, where most of the peers are each uploading 1 or 2 kB/s to me.

To attain higher speeds do I need to be able to connect to more peers, all uploading at low rates, or should I be getting higher upload rates from the 30 peers i do connect to?

What often causes slow speeds if users that run multiple torrents, therefore sending almost no data to any one of them.

And they themselves receive almost no download, since they arn’t uploading, so what do they do? they start even more torrents.

One at a time is the best way to go.

make sure you have connectable YES its very important :wink:
