I just started using utorrent and I noticed that the file I'm trying to download (anime episodes) is coming in really slow. Is this normal? Is there any way to speed up the process. I gave utorrent server right on my firewall so it's not being blocked and I noticed that uploads are coming at 80 mbs which is way faster than my download (i'm on Bellsouth DSL). Are uploaders getting any of my other files on my computer? After I get the full file, do I have to put the pieces together so I can put it on my portable media center or does utorrent do all of this for me? Also I only downloaded utorrent but I read that I should get a tracker server, do I need to do this or does utorrent have one included? This is my first time using bit torrent so I'm quite confused. If anyone could let me know if I'm missing something or if everything is fine I'd appreciate it.

Bittorrent works like a Peer-2-Peer file sharing program (e.g. LimeWire, eMule, etc.). If there is nobody sharing the file, it won't download...it also depends on how others have their end set up, if they have a throttle on their upload speed, you can only download from them at that speed.

It could be because you're using DSL.
With bittorrent, your download speed is dependant on your upload speed and DSL has poor upload speed.
Also, it could be because your ISP hates you.
...ok, now I read your question...It looks like you might be the only one on that torrent.
