it depends on many things. Your line-speed, especially the upload. If you use bittorrent for example, it will use all of the available upload for sending, which usually severly impacts your download-speed as the acknowladge packages for the downstream cant be send anymore at the optimal rate for your download, thus slowing it down. Usually capping the upload bandwidth of your bt-client works wonders in such situations, it also may boost other p2p proggies speeds.
But with bt and p2p in genereal you ll always have to look at how many sources there are and how much bandwidth they can offer maximum to the downloaders: 1 source-file/seeder, billions of leechers = low download-speed. So sometimes it might be best to just wait till the ratio of leechers to sources is better or just be damned and wait. Or search for sources on other p2p programs...
It s easier if you have access to high-speed ftps, as you dont have to share your upload-speed at the time of downloading, but you usually have to do something to get download-credits for sites, so it may not be worth the hassle in the long run.

he didnt ask how many people can reply bragging about there connection speeds lol

the easyest way you can get really fast speeds is from newsgroup's which should always max out your connection but i dont think they get new releases very quick.

Many of them use newgroup server . You need to pay for it .
I get 1meg/sec from newsgroup .


If you donwload from bitorrent , your donwload speed is related to your upload speed .
I always get about 90kb/sec with bitorrent because i upload at 110kb/sec .

On a good private site , the speed is better because there is more seeders and also some seeders have 10mbit connection .

which you can tweak by allowing 10mbit connection for upload, and 3000 clients, but put only 1 file in your share folder

Bit Torrent is usualy a little slow. There is a technique called port forwarding that may help increase your DL speed. Just google "port forwarding", there are many tutorials on the web.

some isps offer a free newsgroup service ,i know they dont retain articles for aslong as paysites but some isps have all the good news groups ,i know blueyonder havent filtered out the ones people put games and movies on anyway and i always get 1.25mb/s from them everytime ive downloaded something on them.
i dont think NTL have all the good newsgroups on there server though.

and as far as BT goes there is some awesome private sites that only let there team members upload torrents and they all have 10mb or 100mbit connections so download speeds are always fast and often they get stuff before the nfo's apear on nforce.
the thing is your chances of finding one of these torrent sites is slim and the chance of you beeing invited unless you know someone on them is 0
