I am very impressed with the recent download speeds - GREAT community here. I can not wait 'till Top Gear gets back on the air. Just wanted to say thanks! It's not very frequent that I can get a steady 900KB/s from a bit download. I have a 120KB/s upload but no one even wanted it from me!
 
hmm... i wish i can download that fast! i only have 512kbs connection but im downloading at 4 kbs.... i dont know what it means but i have 31 seeds.

hmm, are you uploading anything yet ? that might be the problem ... you gotta upload too if you want your speed to grow, otherwise. That's the way bit-torrent works. But the problem might be elsewhere, though I can't imagine why you'd get such a small speed at that connection.

BTW, welcome aboard.

Not true - you can manually kill all uploading, and still max out your download speeds. Of course, you're not contributing to the further distribution of the file, but it can easily be done. I'd tend to think that he has some other software issues.
 
Or router stuff??? Port forwarding? Another client? Firewall? Other progs running or lots of simultaneous BT downloads... -> This is getting me the most... More than 3 or 4 dls and I don't get anything at all...

@fernando khan:

ABC is a nice program and all, but it seems to hog a lot of resources/bandwith for no apparent reason. I'll suggest BitComet even more, somehow my d/l speeds went up a lot when I started to use that and it doesn't clog the system like ABC did.

Oh, and remember to set upload speed NOT HIGHER than your connection can handle, or the d/l speed will be affected. I'm not 100% sure how torrents and tracking works, but I got a very noticeable difference when I set UL to cap at 30 kB/s (my ISP seems to adjust the speed all the time, but I think I have 384 or 512 kb/s out on my ADSL right now lol). I know I can upload faster, but somehow my DL speeds dropped if I tried a higher setting. Beats me why, but it seems to have an effect.

:)
 
is there any way to tweek BitTorrent 4.01 without d/l a new torrent client? ...for some reason...i cant go faster than 20kb/s...it takes forever to d/l anything... :(
 
thanks for the reply guys! im just getting settled...updated my profile.

i am using the latest azeurus program... i checked my settings and my upload speed was 50kbs which i thought is too much so i changed it to 20 and now im upto 20 kbs but not more than that.

can someone explain or give me a site that does on what seeds are??

many thanks

Well, that's very simple... If your upload is maxed out completely, your PC can't upload the confirmations for the received data packtes... Hence they get lost, which means th dl gets slower...

Buba

//edit: You can get a traffic shaping programm, that priorizes the confirmations and lets you set the upload a bit higher...
 
^Right, as Buba stated, when you are solely downloading (ie you set upload speed to 0 in your client) you will still upload information. Part of downloading involves uploading data to say that the info has been received. When you set uploads to 0, it just means that other peers won't use your connection upload to get the file.

If you watch your incoming/outgoing traffic while downloading something, you will notice that both the TX (Transmit, or upload) and RX (Recieve, or download) areas are showing action, because when data is recieved, your comp must send back some data to acknowledge it.

Hence, if you set your client's upload speed to max, then it will sapped by peers downloading from your machine, and the data packets that your comp needs to send for your downloading will have trouble getting out. It's like the difference between trying to merge on to a busy highway as opposed to merging on an empty one.
