hi guys,

Im a newbie with this, im having trouble with my
download speeds with my adsl modem, and i just wanted
to elimanate that the problem isn't my computers
configuration. This is my first time with adsl so im
not 100% that the configuration is correct.

I have reinstalled 5.1-release.(i haven't changed any
of the configuration) The adsl modem is a billion
5100. the modem is configured with the following:

mode as Bridge.
encapsulation to RFC 1483.
Multiplex to LLC.
VPI 8 
VCI 35
IP address to 0.0.0.0
Network Address Translation to None.

(ie. ive switched the routing options off, so i can
have it purely as a modem)

rc.conf
----------
has the following entries:
gateway_enable="yes"
kern_securelevel_enable="no"
moused_enable="YES"
sendmail_enable="none"
sshd_enable="Yes"
usbd_enable="yes"
#networking
network_interfaces="fxp0 dc0 lp0 tun0"
ifconfig_fxp0="inet 10.0.5.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 10.0.5.255"

# PPPoE for dsl
ppp_enable="YES"
ppp_mode="ddial"
ppp_profile="curl"

sysctl.conf
-----------
net.inet.ip.forwarding=1

ppp.conf
---------
default:
set device PPPoE:dc0:curl
set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command
set speed sync
set mru 1492
set mtu 1492
set ctsrts off
enable lqr
set timeout 0
enable dns
add default HISADDR
set redial 0 0

curl:
set authname my_username
set authkey my_password

im running the default kernel, i haven't recompiled it
yet with any new/additional options.

packages installed
cvsup-without-gui
expat
gettext
gmake
isc=dhcp3-server
libiconv
libtool
lynx-ssl
py23-Bittorrent-core
python

Im getting decent speeds with http downloads(90kbps),
but when i run the bittorrent client i average speeds
of 30-40 BYTES. its enough to make me cry.  Is there
anything i should be looking at or doing or should
configure?

i run bittorrent

/usr/local/bin/btdownloadcurses.py torrent_filename.

Thanks in advance for your help.
