BT is my 'last choice' due to its S L O W download speed. if theres something i want and cant get it off news server or IRC and i still want it bad enough i'll do the BT thing but only as last resort.
Your download speed with BT is directly related to your upload speed. If your upload speed is limited to 0 or some other low number your download speed will suck as well.

I think that nicely explains why BT doesn't even work over my satellite "broadband" connection.

Re: New method of choice....

Another thing that is an speed killer is *NAT* (firewall/routers). Without port forewording turned on, your bandwidth goes down the drain. Mainly because, most people are behind NAT's and thus, can only connect out (not receive connections in). So, the people with an "real" ip (or port-forewording through their firewall) receive that extra bandwidth because they can receive incoming connections.
