What are you downloading on the bittorents, out of interest ?

I do agree with you on super fast connection these routers are not cutting it anymore. Draytek better pull their thumb out or i am jumping ship !

As far as firmware there have always been ADSL firmware version depending on your line.
NOTE: ADSL Modem Codes
For general purpose usage on UK lines, modem code 232201 is recommened
For ADSL2+ Annex M lines, the latest modem code 2471201 is suggested
For line speeds of less than 4Mbps, on lower quality lines a modem code with more conservative paramaters, 211801 is suggested
