I'm using transmission on a mac, when I start a torrent, it can run for about 2-3 minutes conecting to all the seeds and getting up to a decent speed (usualy around 200kb, sometimes up to 800, i have fast internet) recently, after a few minutes, it always drops all the seeds except one and I'm left with a really slow speed, sometimes around 2.5kb, up to 15ish, my upload can stay the same but it can also drop sometimes. When I restart the program it does the same thing only a lot quicker, would this have anything to do with my ratio being shit on private trackers? I've checked port forwarding. Can anyone help?

What ISP do you use? They may be throttling your speed if they notice bittorrent traffic. I've not had a problem using BT on BT Internet. Try checking the box "prefer encrypted peers", also using Distributed Hash Tables, and PEX. Make sure there are no bandwidth caps in place either.

I'm on virgin media, reports say they don't limit bittorrent traffic but if you go over a limit, they put your speed down overall, I've checked with speedtest and my speed is the same as it was before. I've taken off all caps on bandwidth, I only had them on upload and it was set pretty high. I don't have the rest of the options because transmission is a pretty lightweight, simple program.
