i'm downloading a movie, and i've downloaded two other movies the two days before that, and they were quite fast. here's some information:
seeds: 23(156)
peers: 9(216)
download speed: 12.8 kb/s (avg.18.9 kb/s)
upload speed: 0.9 kb/s (avg. 5.2 kb/s)
There are a lot of peers (other people downloading at the same time as you) - more than there are seeds. Wait a little more and you may get a faster connection. Think on it: There are 156 people letting the movie be downloaded by 216!
