so does this mean i will still run a dynamic ip ?

Yes. Your public IP will be dynamic unless you pay your ISP for a static one. In order to get torrents working you need to give your PC a static IP (eg. 192.168.0.2) and then set up port forwarding in your router. The easier way would be to just enable UPNP in both your router and torrent client.

well i think i stand corrected ! B.T doesn,t throttle p2p any more , because i,m back to 6mb now ! I have a feeling the trouble was the torrents i was choosing to download were all bad !! :( they wern,t seeding enough people hence i wasn,t downloading anything , so i,m learning ha! i,m also using Qbittorrent which i,m finding amazing ,and no rubbish adware with it like utorrent which i used for years and feel kind of sad how its gone :(

You not gonna pull him up on the rest of his grammar mistakes too?

Grammar mistakes are one thing, but capitalisation in SI prefixes and units is something completely different. I generally don't correct folks grammar unless they are acting superior, but writing SI units properly is important. :)
