If your in a business environment most likely you don't have access to port forward to your client the port your client is configured to use.

If a residential environment the same as above and/or traffic shaping by your ISP.

I'm in a business environment with no port forwarding (I may be the network admin, but I have to live by the same rules I give users) running Azureus Client with torrents active for both i386 and x86_64 I was pulling 100k-200k each today. At home last night I was pulling 320k on my residential DSL (with port forwarding) for the same two torrents.

Mileage may vary.

you have a local problem on your end or a mis configured bittorrent client - look at this :

at time of release, the DVD torrents were seeding ( for x86_64, i386 and ia64 together ) at over 1.3 GiB/sec.

its only grown from there. And almost everyone who's commented on it -

has said that they have been able to saturate their links with the torrent ( eg. one guy on irc was leeching at 35MiB/sec earlier in the day today ... )

I find it hard to believe that in general terms, ftp would offer much better performance.

I do believe that something is wrong with the setup. I get torrent connection speeds that vary wildly from 10KB/sec to about 200KB/sec. FTP gets me about 1380KB/sec.
