Hi.

I am a new user to Bit Torrent and have only ever heard good things about it, but I am currently using it and finding it to be extremely slow in downloads. I admit a couple of the files Ive trieds downloading are large but Im on a 1500Mb speed connection and still only getting a download speed of around 20K and its taking days. Any ideas??

well having a good download speed is good but if there aren't people sharing that file then it will take a while.

Bt is a program that is different from kazaa or any of them weird P2P program.

BT requires people to be uploading the file (they are called seeders) people who are trying to download the files are (leechers) either way, your upload speed also effects your download speed. the more people seeding and sharing their speed (upload) the faster you can get your files.

note: balance of leechers and seeders is perfect.
