Just out of interest what kind of download speeds do people get with these torrents, I usually get around 200-230 Kb/sec when downloading, ahem, non-music related resources  but only seem to manage 30Kb/sec max with a popular torrent.. If you have a router, it's all about port forwarding, once you've done that you should get near maximum speeds on popular torrents. I get over 200k/second on 2mb ntl. I'll try and find something that tells you what to do. |

Then you're all good, no need to worry about port forwarding.
A slow speed might be because there are few seeders (people who have completely downloaded the file). Also your download rate is proprtional to your upload rate

For a 2mb connection i would say not. It varies with how popular the file is though, you may actually find that not many people are downloading (you swap the bits of the file you need with bits they need)
