Your broadband speed is 1.33Mbps but during download it downloads at 10kbps pls help?

There are a number of factors involved in download speeds, the least of which is your service provider (usually). The following problems could occur:
1) Your computer is low on memory, and needs to have some freed up. Try closing some programs, or restarting your computer.
2) Your computer is running too many programs, and should have some closed to free up CPU time. Try closing some programs, or restarting your computer.
3) Your network stack has too many filters/drivers/etc. You might need to configure your TCP/IP stack. Try updating your network drivers, and restarting your computer.
4) Your network switch is bogged down from too much local network traffic. Check to see if there's a high use load, and if so, try again later (or track down the cause of the bandwidth usage).
5) Your network switch may need a restart (usually due to low memory conditions). Try restarting the switch by powering it off for at least 15 seconds.
6) Your broadband modem may need a restart (usually due to low memory conditions). Try restarting the modem by powering it off for at least 15 seconds.
7) Your ISP's routers may be running poorly. A trace route command will confirm or deny this condition. If one particular hop on a router is dropping packets and/or has a high response time, that suggests an internet-related issue. It may also clear up on its own.
8) Your ISP is blocking some of your traffic. This happened with Comcast customers at some point, and I'm sure that there are others that block download traffic without advising their customers. Try talking to them about it.
9) The remote network is bogged down; try again later or contact the remote party to see if they have bandwidth issues; alternatively, they might simply have a lower bandwidth (i.e. dialup). You may need to simply be patient or try another source.
10) The remote host is having any of the problems above (particularly 1 through 3). See if you can't get someone on the far end to diagnose it, or restart the system.
Task Manager, Remote Desktop, trace route, and ping are all useful commands to determine the cause of an extremely slow connection. There are many factors involved, but with a few minutes of troubleshooting, you should be back up to speed (pun intended) in no time.

Is 10Mbps good for a phone?
yes, that connection is very fast and much more than what people have at their homes. In fact my University has a 10mbps connection. Are you sure you don't mean 10kbps?
What does seeding mean in torrent?
The people sharing & connected to each other using the bit-torrent protocol are split into 2 categories. SEEDS(uppers) & LEECHERS(downloaders) In the begining while downloading a torrent for the first time you are a leecher because the download hasn't completed. When it completes you switch to a seeder and dedicate that stream to simply uploading. The more seeds available the faster the download. Seeding is the process of connecting to a torrent when you have a complete file. Yes it is important to seed 1 to 1. The more seeders there are on a torrent the faster the torrent is. You are not downloading the torrent from the actual site you get it from. You are downloading it off another user that has it on their computer. Let's say someone uploads a torrent to a site and that person seeds at 100kbps. At first every single leecher is trying to get the file from the uploader which if there are 10 leechers then each leecher is approximately getting the file at 10kbps. Let's say the 10 people finish downloading the torrent from the uploader. Each also is seeding at a speed of 100kbps. That means the total speed of the torrent after the 10 get done downloading the file is 1100kbps. Because 10 are seeding at 100kbps and the original uploader is seeding at 100kbps. So if there are 11 more leechers getting the file now each of those leechers are approximately getting the file at 100kbps instead of 10kbps because there is a 1 to 1 ratio per seeder & leecher. If everyone just downloaded the file from the uploader and stopped seeding without seeding the torrent 1:1 then the uploader will always be stuck seeding. Which the speed of the torrent will hardly go up because the leechers will always outnumber the seeder. So it is important to seed back at least what you take. So if you download a file that is 1GB then seed back 1GB. That is why it is called FILE SHARING. People are considerate enough to share their stuff you can repay them back by seeding back what you take so others can enjoy it as well.
