Problems with torrents

[Aberclio182]

As of late torrent downloads seem to be slowing down on my pc, everything else like limewire, normal downloads are fine. Any one got any ideas what this could be? when i say slow like 888b/s lol

Which client do you use??

If its bitcomet, make sure you set the max global download rate at your max broadband download rate and your max global upload rate at around 10kb/s less than your actual upload rate

EG: 2mb broadband

max global download rate - 2000kb/s
max global upload rate - 25kb/s

Its all to do with your contention ratio and Upload/download ratio, if you u/d ratio isnt anywhere near equal, the tracker reponds by slowing your download rate to compensate

well i just got upgrade to 8 mb, but only actual see 3.5mb (piss) lol

Azureus is what i use, got all the settings pretty much right

max global download rate - ????kb/s
max global upload rate - ??kb/s

what about 1mb broadband

max global download rate - ????kb/s

Can't you half the data rates that are above for this?

Change your port setting, a lot of ISP's block/throttle the commonly used ports 6881 for example. Set your port as any number between 48000 and 60000 (e.g 48561) and you should see some improvement.

Failing that check your firewall (xp/router) isn't blocking the ports or restricting packets. Also check you can be DHT enabled, if you can't then you have a firewall issue.

 

[Aberclio182]

change my port all the time like. its fine now though, downloading as normal , must have been a software problem

i've tried bitcomet and a few others, but the download rates were shocking. Azeurus is far for me.

Azureus is the preeminent client to utilize the BitTorrent protocol, anybody who says different most likely still uses Win 95 on 32 megs of RAM.

NAT errors are most common, for reference, see the link below:
