speed

[nolan57]

iv been usin azeraus to download bittorrents and my question was is there anything i can do to increase speed , i know my ports or open or it wouldnt download anything , iv tried a few differnt sites pirate bay ,torrent box, iso hunt , torrent spy, it doesnt have anything to do with the ratio does it
any suggestions would help because you know 2.00 kb/s on a 4 gb isnt gona cut

you're using public sites, you're not going to get good speeds most of the time.

make sure you've got good settings:

and that you've got your ports properly forwarded:

edit: also make sure you have protocol encryption enabled in the azureus options.

Try using private trackers, speeds will fly:w00t:

@nolan 57, pm me if you want access to some private sites with much better speeds

after you get everything configured, you can try testing the setup by downloading an openoffice torrent:

your speeds should be very high, they've got alot of dedicated seeders and servers seeding the torrents.

some good help guys thnx atlot i really appreciate it:)
i wasnt exactly sure if it was my ports or not but id love to get on some private sites but thought you needed an invite
this may sound dum but im not exactly sure what a pm is but im gona look into that now and try to get a hold of u , if i can get on some private site ill always seed im a good sharer:)

[nolan57]

this may sound dum but im not exactly sure what a pm

private message yah i got dee dee , i sent 1 to u panther
ya your all right i can play with the settings and get the speed up a little but ill poabably never really get up 100 kb/sec using public trackers. and downloading and uploading 5 files at a time wont help either. not that im trying to exploit the program but when your the only one between all your budies with broad, band well i try to be nice. I was wondering if u wanted to be lazy about it if that Azbot (i think thats what its called) would configure everything for. thnx to everyone againg for all your help;)

what do you mean by a 4 gb? go do a speedtest and post it here.
http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ seems to be a popular one.

and yeah, private trackers will put your speeds through the roof, but you have to seed back. how do you think you get good speeds in the first place? (hint - everyones seeding)

[aburyach]

Yes, thats a good point kavalchuk17. Make sure you (nolan57) don't go download crazy and that you can upload back. From there, everything is great:D

Look into the invite section if you have not already, there are many members that can give you some free invites to some decent trackers.

[nolan57]

YA i got no problem seeding , i always seed i file at least 5 times before i take it off my computer. but where is the invite section is there 1 on this forum i didnt see it on the main home page and 1 more questions what are news groups are they the same thing as private trackers

[Panther]

on the homapega under site navigation is a BT Invites Section button, that will lead you directly to the right place

edit: also check your email: there might be some goodies there...

Newsgroups are nothing like torrents. Only similiarities would be you can find rar files or files in question on either. You can find good speeds on either. But the methods used to get on both networks if you will are nothing alike.

You could also try turning the encryption on in your client.
Or switch to a client like Utorrent. AZ in my opinion is nothing more than a peice of junk resource hog.
