Hello, whenever I try to download a torrent, it always runs at about 8 - 10 kb/s average, once it hit 80kb/s, but that's it.
I do run this torrent program at an internet cafe, is there a way to make this go faster?

You could open up the port, but you would have to control the networking devise to do so. So... no, not really. But that's not too slow anywho, mine runs average only about 35kbs.

Use an HTTPS: Tracker
Utilizing an HTTPS [https: / /] tracker could help to outwit your throttling/traffic shaping ISP. A few of the bigger private trackers integrate https as a choice in the tracker. They include but are not limited to.
An HTTPS tracker ought to not be perplexed with a torrent website that works over SSL. ThePirateBay, Isohunt and others provide HTTPS surfing, yet the trackers in the torrent itself are still normal HTTP, and not secure whatsoever.

If you are running at an internet cafe, you are limited in your options. You'll find that some torrent hosts will choke, or even block you ISP if your share ration falls to low, which can be the result of the computer's firewall setting (which you won't have access to reconfigure - same as with any relating port settings).
Best thing you can do in your situation is to use multiple trackers where available. If you locate your torrents at somewhere like http://www.torrentz.com/ , you'll often see a whole list of trackers for any one file - add all of them to your torrent for maximum download speeds and peer numbers.

Higher download speeds vary from tracker to tracker. The best things you can do is keep your share ratio high - above 1.0, increase your upload speed - but keep it slightly lower than your max upload speed allowed by your connection, or find a torrent that has a lot of seeders. High share ratio, your upload speed, and a good seeded torrent all affect your download speeds.

you need to do a port forward on you router before you using it. The port should be the same as you BT torrent software setting.

Try BitLord. The torrent program itself Like BitTornado, BitLord and the like are all legal programs. What you do with it might be illegal. And then again it might not.
