solved, see next post !

I still have 400Mo to dowload and it's downloading at 40ko/s.
Is there any other way to get the files ?

    Forward ports 56274 and 52138 TCP/UDP. If you're not sure how to forward ports, check out 'portforward.com'. My download speed has gone from 10-30 KB/s to 250-300. Spread the word.

    Thanks. Unfortunately I'm renting and don't have access to the router configuration :/

    That's lame. Well, I don't know how long it's been there, but I just saw a notification claiming the download client's been updated. Try restarting the client if you haven't already.

    Thanks, I could reset the router to default settings and edit port forwarding, it is now much faster :)

    Worked great for me too, went from 20-60kB/s to ~500. Great work Marszie

    Massive improvement on my end as well, thanks for the tip Marszie!

    20-150KB/s to over 1.6 MB/s and climbing!!

    Wow that's a pretty epic failure if you have to open up ports on your machine and router's firewall just to get a remotely acceptable download speed. I'm completely comfortable doing this, but most users don't understand this sort of thing.

    Why is there no legit bittorrent option? The Humble Bundle supports it, and it works great everytime, and can max out my 40mbps down stream. Seriously, you guys should have just gotten in touch with them instead of beamdog. A non profit charity has totally outclassed and delivered better service than you guys.

    I'm finally getting a little over 1MB/s now after it running at 30K forever. Lame. Unless a better content deliver system is worked out for the next release you guys do, I don't think I'll be making another purchase from beamdog or overhaul.
