I'm trying to download a file via bittorent and experiencing a very annoying issue.

Everytime I start downloading, the download rate varies between 40-50KB and stays at that for roughly a minute, before it starts to go down until it eventually gets as low as 2-3KB. If I exit and restart Bittorent it starts from 40-50KB again.

What on earth is the reason for this? It seems like a pattern rather than the random fluctuation of seeds/peers leaving.
