On Bittornado (about the same as bittorent) I have only 4KB speed downloading with 15 peers connected to 16 seeds. The light in the corner of the program window is yellow.
Any ideas how to speed things up?

Thats what the yellow light means anyway I think. Still, usually torrent downloads seem to speed up if you leave them running for a while.
Heh. I use the Linux version of BitTornado and it's great :P
Opened ports 6881-6889, individually grrrrr.....no difference. Still fluctuating between 2-30KB now so I'll have to live with it.
Only 35 hours 17 mins to go!!!!
BT is determined by how much you upload as well. So to get a decent download speed you do need to share. Normally a peer wont send to you unless you are sending to them so dont limit yourself to very low upload speeds as well as low number of connections. BT still depends on other users so speed can vary especially if all the users have very slow upload speed.

I can get 90+ KB download when my upload is only at 10KB.
I know this file is really really popular right now and I think my problem is still firewall or port related. I found out that the most common used ports are between 6881-6889 so I used the Shields UP website to probe those port ranges and all of them are stealthed.
I tried opening them up using the virtual server config on the router (this is how you open ports on it) but it makes you give your IP to set them up....and I have dynamic IP. So when the router resets to open those ports it ends up starting on a new IP, making the old entries invalid.
*bangs head against wall*
Meh I give up, I'll just leave it on all day, and all tomorrow, and so on until it finishes...
