I've always been able to run downloads at decent speeds. I usually get 70-200k on a torrent with a lot of speeds, and that drops down to 20-30k if I'm running multiple torrents.

Lately, I can run 1 torrent with mild success. For the first 2-3% it runs fine, with speeds approaching 100k. After that, it drops down to below 1k or completely stops. If I try to run more then 1 then 1 torrent with be below 1k and the rest don't even start, even though there are 800-1000 seeds. If I stop the 1 torrent and restart it, it returns to almost 100k for a couple % and then stops again. So basically every torrent I download I have to keep starting and stopping.

Anyone else have this problem? It's the same for each torrent program I use (bittorrent, utorrent, etc). I have TWC RR cable.

sounds like your bandwidth is being throttled

One of my coworkers ran into this issue and said that he uses peerguardian to anonymize the traffic and it helped improve the speed
