Hi there guys, I got some questions that need some answers...ok, here goes...

My dad, upgraded his 1mb plan to a 4mb streamyx plan last month...when I returned to my hometown and tested it, all was working superb...

I just returned again for the holidays and my dad says torrent downloading speeds are horrible. So I checked his desktop, and thought maybe some settings might have screwed up, so I did a clean installation of uTorrent and checked everything else and all seems to be fine, Youtube streaming is good, surfing is awesome, but torrents suck.

Suspecting a network setting gone wrong on the desktop, I whipped out my laptop to check, and once again, Youtube streaming is awesome, updated Steam games at 500++kb/s...it even peaked at 700kb/s...downloading setup files and emails peaked at an average of 200kb/s...but the moment I tried getting a torrent to download the max i'll get is around 10 or 20kb/s....

To clarify some things, I know for SURE, it aint the torrent file problem...what I did was test with torrents I already downloaded to be sure. Back in the city I'm using 5mb unifi, and it'll reach speeds of 500++ and finish downloading real fast, over here, it's takes ages...

Tm's speedometer and Speedtest report good speeds all around...

My question is, is it possible for TM to tweak our torrent download speeds...?? AFAIK this cant be, I thought they have removed any such capping...so what is my actual problem here...??

Thanks for your time in reading this. I'm not the biggest expert.
(Also dont tell me to switch to direct download sites, torrents have been reliable to me for years, I can get fast speeds anywhere except in my dad's 4mb internet. I'm just a son trying to help his dad have some entertainment of his own, without any complicated downloading procedures)
