Alright, not bad after all. After only six hours of downloading, I'm 5.4% of the way through. Can you taste the sarcasm?

Try my problem. After 12 hours of downloading, I'm 5.9% done. Beat that.

Well, I can't have my computer on for that long. I don't think BitTorrent is for me.

Well, I only have high speed internet at my sister's place, so I can usually only download things for 1 or 2 days max.

A bump doesn't do much for this. I'd lock it, but I don't believe in locking.

Why when I'm downloading using a torrent does my download speed keep going down to like below 1 kb/s?

I've already covered this. But you decided my post was tl;dr. Pwned.

You didn't already cover it. You just said it takes forever for you too.

You receive these files from other people instead of a central server. The people who are only uploading in a torrent situation are called "Seeders". These are the people who already have the file downloaded. There are also "Peers", who are people who are also downloading the file. If they have more of the file than you do, they might also be uploading some of it to you. Some people are Peers without uploading anything, and this is generally frowned upon. |
What this means, for you, is that there are too many Peers and not enough Seeders. The seeders have to supply the file to ALL of the peers. At the same time that they're on. So you won't always get the best speeds.

Is there any way to fix or prevent that?

Go to a seeder's house and beat him up to convince him to give you the file on a flashdrive? That's the only thing I can think of.
