What is the fastest download rate you have ever achieved on bit-torrent?

I ask because i just downloaded a file @ ~550 KB/sec and that's the fastest i have ever seen one go.

Also, any links to very fast(and legal) torrents?  My client says the maximum DL rate is over 1000 KB/sec and i want to test it.
Hey MPAA, Guess what?

I never get more than like 10-20 tops for almost all torrents and I don't know why.

I dont really know, since I'm using my torrent over a wireless connection. Sometimes it seems pretty quick though, especially for wireless.

482 kb/s.

Bad thing is, it went from zero, to that, and back to zero in a matter of seconds. The torrent never resumed after that, so I was stuck with a 64% finished download.

There's really not much to figure out. 

On some private trackers I can reach over 800 kB/s, but when it does that my terrible linksys router dies and I have to reset it.  That's about the max I can get it.  It doesn't help to have a bad upload speed though, caps at 45kB/s

The internet is almost never faster than the wireless network's ability to carry it.

I have gotten 140s.

I remember the spice girls.

Looking back on all of that, i don't see why all of the american girls idolized a bunch of toothless british sluts who couldn't even sing (like most pop "stars").

over 1k on my dorm connection. If you want to see what you can max out at download a ubuntu torrent the week it's released, so many seeders.

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.
