Im currently downloading a 701mb movie.
I need to know what the "down speed" and "up speed" are?
it shows my downspeed-50KB/sec and upspeed-22KB/sec
so if the downspeed rate is high, does that mean my download would be faster?
also, how do i improve downloading speed?

50 is not bad bad .... ryt click on the torrent and lower ur up to about 10-15 ... that should help ... u need to go to a speed test site to see what ur line max is and a good seeded torrent should come close to maxing it ... a 5mb line should give about 300-400kb/s in utorrent depending of course on how well seeded the file is and if theres alot of leechers it may slow it also ... i'm usually happy with anything over 50 on a public site ... 150 is probably average ... u need to make sure all ur firewalls allow utorrent including portforwarding any routers and possibly ur modem to if it has a built-in hardware firewall ... if the little round icon in the bottom of utorrent isnt green ur not set up ryt ...

That's a pretty decent rate for downloading a movie. It looks like your moving the file at about 400Kbps downstream and 176Kbps upstream, a typical DSL or Cable connection. To download movies up to twice as fast, ditch Torrent networks and use a P2P client like BearShare. I've gotten movies to finish in half an hour that are a few years old. But, if you want to stick with torrents, you want to find a torrent with the most seeds and peers possible. That will provide you with the fastest and most reliable connection.
