what's ur connection speed??

[oxygenuk]

make sure your upload limit is set to about 80% of your upload speed and not unlimited as this causes lag and can slow down downloads also

[SirGray]

ok ill try setting it to 80% oh and im on dsl
and my listen port is 26271 if that help I don't know that's what it was when I istalled it



-I tried setting to 80% thier is no percent what kb/s should I set my max upload to? to help stop lag?

Set it to 50kb and see how that goes.
Looking at the seed to leech ratio you're not gonna get a very high speed anyway.

[SirGray]

Ya I set it to 50 and now im getting about 40 kb/s but I still think thats slow what do you guys normaly get on a torrent?

We normally get what the seed/leech ratio allows, which is;
More seeds than leeches = high d/l speeds
More leeches than seeds = low d/l speeds

The torrent you're on is gonna be a slow one, I'd suggest you lower the u/l speed to 40kb, this will allow you to get better speeds on another torrent while you are grabbing this one.

ps, what is your connection(5, 6, 8meg)?

[SirGray]

umm im not sure what you mean..
I have dsl

What company provides your internet service and how much do you pay them per month?

Well, yeah, with 12 seeders and 55 leechers, chances are the speeds with be slow...

More seeders than leechers = better speeds.

No probs, in your task bar there should be a pic of a monitor, hold your mouse pointer over that and it should tell you something like 1 or 2 or more Mbps, what does yours say?

[SirGray]

im not on wireless thats the only way I get the monitor thing
but when im on wireless I get like 54 mbps with the cable I probably get 100 or 54 not sure though

[brain2kx]

in my router, there is a firewall software and i don'r know how can i do to remove it.
Any suggest?
