Why is bitlord slow?

I have an internet download speed of 13 mbps but bitlord is downloading a file at the speed of 24 kbps. Why ? Is my internet service provider cheating me ?

And yes all my downloads before had a good speed atleast 2-10 mbps

    Probably not your ISP's fault. BitLord uses encryption to secure your downloads and this often lowers your download speed. You should try Miro (www.getmiro.com/) for your torrent downloads. Your download speed can also depend on the number of Peers and the speed of the server you are downloading from! So maybe try a different .torrent file (if you haven't alreday done so!)

    Hope it helps!

    That's a no-brainer. ISP's generally throttle bandwidth speeds, especially for torrents.

  • Seeds, it's all about seeds.

    There are no servers in Torrents. It's a peer to peer download.
