Keep in mind my cable connection has a theoretical download speed of ~2.5 Megabytes per second (or 20 Megabits per second), and the highest I've ever got in uTorrent is 930KBps (it's usually much lowerl).
Connection quality, traffic and other conditions affect the ability for you to meet the advertised speed of your ISP. If you live in a busy neighborhood, you'll be sharing the bandwidth with your everyone who lives nearby (this is with cable, DSL works different from what I've heard).
And really, at 1MBps, you can nearly download a whole DVD in an one and a half hours, that's pretty fast if you ask me.
How ya doing, buddy?
