Carve, I dont have Torrent in front of me on this computer but a few things I did to try and spped it up was...

1. make sure your firewall has the port open necessary for the torrent file.I think i found the port number in the troublehooting or help feature of the torrent program..I dont remember off hand.

2 right click on the torrent file in the download tab in the torrent program and you will see bandwith and set the dedication to high.

Good luck it took me 3 days to download it..When I get home I will seed it for you..The more people seeding the quicker you download or so I am told..
