No, as I said it's compared to other sites. I just thought they may be having issues with trackers? They only seem to use one?
I have currently got lots of stuff downloading from various other public sites like m1n1nova, th3p1rat3bay and a few other private ones like d3mono1d with similar numbers of seeds/peers and they are all about 10 times faster.
Therefore I would hazard a guess that my pc/torrent client/adsl line is not at fault...
I realise it is not an exact science, and I only have 3 to compare to. I will download some more, guess I may just have been unlucky with the torrents I chose
