Utorrent
Indeed I was using Azureus on my new BT connection and despite the changes made in the options to restrict the amount of rate throttle that BT apply, I was getting no more than 60kbps
Switched to Utorrent under the recommendation of a fellow PHer and now regularly getting 160kbps+
Torrentspy isnt bad for finding the little blighters either

How do you change the settings for how much restriction the BT router places on it? I've had a look but can't find anything, my downloads are at a pretty crap speed despite whats supposed to be 8mb

I found an article about it on Wikipedia...I think its on the Azuerueswiki itself
Something to do with applying crypto handshakes to confuse the BT connection or something
I think when you install Utorrent it comes with an option to apply it from scratch
Ive just had a look and cant find it (probably due to me being tired and half cut
) If you look for the Azureuswiki on google, it should come with the information you need on there which helped me understand a little bit about what was going on!
Only on a 2.5mb connection and often see 160kbps+
Speed is difficult to judge with torrents; really depends on how many seeds you connect to, how close they are to you, as well as how fast your connection is. I've seen 650Kbs (!) on my 6Mb comcast cable connection for various popular items, but usually get up to about 100/120Kbs peak for single episodes of shows, depending on how many seeds there are. Often these peak at only 40Kbs, though.
I use www.torrentz.com/ to find my torrents, searches through most of the torrent websites in one go
I use Demonoid. Supposed to be very good, but I haven't really noticed anything compared to torrentspy. You need an invitation code, or be lucky when registering as they have short periods where new members can join. Can't see what all the fuss is about though... any one else use it?
