your download speeds are determined by the sources and what they have to give....sometimes on torrents increasing your upload capabilities will help speed things up..and you know what?, sometimes throttling your upload speed will result in a faster download...

I can download large files off .edu servers (like linux distros) @ 1.5MB/sec....very rarely do I see that on the Gnutella network...

But my upload and download speeds are still at 0(unlimited). I don't see how I can make it go faster.

I'm also downloading it from:

Using a proper torrent program such as uTorrent or Vuse (Azureus) would help greatly.

Did you check how old the torrent link was before you chose it? Some older ones will not have so many people online/still sharing it. LW's share back for torrent uploads is preset. LW does not keep track of share ratio. And this in itself might be getting you excluded from some torrent peers.
At least with a proper torrent program you can control many factors, especially with the more advanced settings. With LW it's just hope for the best.

Download isn't that old, maybe a week. Hecka of a lot of people have downloaded it and are seeding. Plus I have Utorrent, tried downloading thing on it. Goes hecka of a lot slower. Dunno why. But I was just wondering if there was anyway. It doesn't seem like there is.

Also its not like I want like 1.2mb/s. All I really want is higher than 15-35kb/s. Gonna take at lt least another day at this rate. I want somewhere around 90-150kb/s. Thats what alot of people are getting on it. Someone I know is using LW (normal) and is getting 140kb/s....Same download.

Btw does LW Pro make download speeds faster?
