I tried downloading the second Donkey Kong Country video (the one that is 25:19 long) but it was only downloading at 1 KB/S so I canceled it. I need some more people to seed it so I can download it faster.

By cancelling it you only ensure that the automatic seed programs won't see any need to seed it, and they seed something else instead. :)

What are these automatic seed programs. I thought only people downloading a file could seed it.

It is possible to seed multiple files simultaneously. Bisqwit has written a script called btfriend.py which automatically juggles the torrent files so that the files which most urgently need seeding are being shared.

I tried downloading it again and it started off at around 40 KB/S but then it started dropping down to 1-10 KB/S. I guess I should have started the download sooner after making this topic. I didn't cancel the download though because I am hoping the speed will go up again.

Now it went up to over 100 KB/S but then dropped all the way down to 1 KB/S. I have never seen anything like this happen before.
