I actually figured this out. :actofgod: and I'm computer illiterate
Is BitTorrent supposed to download the torrent really slow? At the rate its going it will probably take 1-2 hours to download.
It depends on how many seeds there are, how many peers are downloading, how fast everyone's connections are, etc. The speeds you get on BitTorrent range from excruciatingly slow to blistering fast. In general the more seeds the better.
Also, you'll want to limit your upload bandwidth to 80% of what your ISP gives you. That's considered the "sweet spot" with torrents. Any more and it can slow down your downloading. In uTorrent you can do this in Options > Setup Guide.
Also, make sure you got a green checkmark in the status bar of uTorrent and not a yellow warning symbol. I don't want to get into specifics now (Google it if you want) but downloading will be faster with the green checkmark.
That's all I can think of offhand to help everyone's torrenting go faster.
