Funny, I previously read that page and followed all followable instructions, but skipped over the testing with another torrent. Well, I have done so now, it's been running for a few minutes, but still isn't working too swell even with so many seeders listed on that page. Perhaps if I give it a few minutes it will finally pick up.
Other torrents are downloading at about 7kB/s (but upload speeds [capped at 45kB/s] are fluctuating up and down which they didn't used to back in the day), but at least it's working.
I have fiddled with my setting several times within the last few years. Is there a list of which settings are _ideal_ for certain situations? (or at least a description of each for the non-network-protocol savvy?) What is the recommended peer count for a 350kB/s download and 60kB/s upload speed?
