okay so i’m new to this whole thing. i’ve been using limewire but i can’t seem to d/l any tv shows/movies.

so i downloaded a free version of xtorrent…

I go on torrent sites and download the “torrent” that i want ex: season 3 nip/tuck.

I then click on the folder and it starts downloading in xtorrent except it says like 10kb/s  
it’s going to take like 10 days to dwonload.  
Is there any faster way to download these? I have a fast internet connection so i know its not that.

any help is appreciated!

all depends on the seeders and leechers

the more seeders… usually get a fast DL speed

edit: you could also try port forwarding if you’re running a router

torrents start out slow and get a lot faster as you get more of the file.
