Aight.... I have been using BC for awhile now. It by far is the best Client for fast downloads. When I first installed BC, I researched why I was getting the gray light for listening. After doing wat was required (port forwarding, allow in firewall, etc, etc, etc), I had the green light. After a short while, my green light again turned back to gray, but it seemed my speed was not affected at all. I was getting both Local and Remote Initiations, therefore I just left well enough alone. I have always been able to max out my dl speed almost all times of the day, but especially at night. Recently, I had a couple dl's that were taking almost a week to dl even with over 1k peers and seeders. I was lucky to top out about half of my line limit. I was baffled. Then one night after BC ran for a day and a half untouched, I looked at my progress and noticed my WAN was displayed and the green light was visible.
Hmmmm... Now i was really......
