Question Posted Saturday April 21 2007, 6:01 am

But still my downloads from Bitlord are slow.
Anything more I should do?
Right Now I am downloading three files @ 19kbs, 12kbs and 10kbs...is this a normal speed?

Depends on where you are from. If you are in the UK then this is to be expected especially with how many ISP's in the UK are starting to cap download speeds for broadband (I know they have done for 8MB connections but am not sure about others).

Remember though that with Bittorrent, your download speed is relative to your upload speed. If you are uploading 3 files your max upload speed will have to be split 3 ways therefore your max downloading speed will also be split 3 ways. If you want to try to speed them up a little I suggest downloading only 1 file at a time. Leave it a while and the speeds should pick up a lot more. Again, this depends on the connection you're on as well (I'm on a 2.2MB connection and get 20-35k/ps download speed and 25k/bs max upload speeds after I leave the downloads going for a while.
