Actually with me it's exactly the opposite, I usually saturate the connection, download the iso and let it seed for a few days or so. Do you encounter the same issue with other torrents? Your connection might be getting throttled or your ro

You could always use an add-on to download the video files. I'm a fan of Video DownloadHelper - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3006/ for firefox. It usually works for any website that embeds media into flash.
