Why is my torrent so slow? 70Mbps connection, 800 peers/500 leechers, other torrents good?

I'm trying to download this torrent, http://bayproxy.me/torrent/9605259/Gravi...HDMaNiAcS, with 5 seeders and 25 leechers is getting speeds of 1mb/s+. I'm using bittorent, and have set the bandwith allocation to high. If anyone has any idea of what could be going on, I'd really appreciate it.

Bittorent links download speed with upload speed so you need to set that to unlimited too if you want a good download speed. Also the amount of seeders doens't determine how good the download is because all the seeders can be offline or have bad internet connection so they won't give you much speed.

Don't ask for help with your illegal pirating of software!!!!

That should be fast.

I have the same problem. I checked my speed; 15Mbps. Full swarm of hundreds of active seeds and peers. All preferences optimized as before & protocols encrypted. But suddenly, I am only getting about ~150 KBs per file, about 300 total.
