They usually start off slow and pick up speed, but you might have expected to get the whole thing in about 2-3 hours if you have broadband.

You have to make sure your firewall - or router if you have that - is setup properly for this... if you can see a green light (instead of yellow) on the bit torrent program your okay though.

I have a slowish broadband connection at the moment and it takes me 14 hours to get these eps on average.
I'm using WinXP built-in firewall. I don't have a router. I have a 2.3Mbps Broadband connection.

I am now DLing an episode of Greys Anatomy and it seems to be moving faster. Maybe it's just that there weren't many users sharing the episode of 'Lost' that I was trying to get.

I will let you know how long it takes for me to DL this once it's done.

Cheers!
