I believe only Kontiki as used by Sky and Channel 4 for TV on-line are given any sort of priority by the Plusnet Group. The rest are all speed restricted in some way or other depending on the product.

I did get up to 110 download speed but after that gave up.
I wanted to download a Kubuntu iso but went back to downloading it via FTP as this gave me around a 400 Kbytes per sec download.
Not much help I know so I’ll leave it open to others who have more knowledge to help you with this.
Regards, P.

i can give you settings to get speeds of 700/kbps
which is what normally get BUT i must stress to you
that i DO NOT download during peak times!
i set mine to start at midnight through to 4pm
being on premier option 1 like yuorself you shouldn't be limited at those times and it also wont affect your usage either

Like Slick I also get good speeds on P2P overnight but it does depend on the torrent as well. I've got one torrent queued up at the moment that's downloading at an average of 7KB/s but that's because there's only 1 seed.
A few other tweaks you can do to your client, set a limit on the upload speed to about half the speed you get on a speedtest like
www.mybroadbandspeed.co.uk
otherwise your uploads can swamp the "ack" packets from the download and slow the download down. Also increase the number of peers the client connects to, sometimes you'll connect to a lot of peers that won't upload anything to you.

you say youve opens 6881 but in your next sentence you didnt have it listed
you need to port forward or enable 6881 in your firewall/router
personally id use a different client i use azureus and set it to a non standard port ie 4900 or 5700 as its much more efficient
to speed up though you need to open the ports simple
