Bittorrent Client

[abu_has_the_power]

i'm using bt ++ and burst. both are slowing down my cable speed from 2.6 megabits per second to like 500 kb/s. :angry: is something wrong with my config? i wasn't even dling anything, and my speed droped that much.

and which bt client should i use? i heard of some experimental ones, but which is the best?

GEt BT++ it dosent take resources and i find it hella good.

[abu_has_the_power]

am i config something wrong, cuz all my dls are like 5kb/s and theres like 200 seeders. and then i test my internet speed, and its like 500kb/s, when usually it's 2.6 mb/s. wtf is goin on?

Maybe its a router problem.

Of course just if you have one. :D

[abu_has_the_power]

i don't. u think it might be my firewall?

[abu_has_the_power]

can anyone tell me which is the best client?

[Benno]

Try turning your firewall off for a test. Look if that makes any difference.

BT++ is the best.

[abu_has_the_power]

ok, but wouldn't that expose me to the wonderful world of the law? (evil cockheads who will sue me)

[abu_has_the_power]

anything other than BT ++?

hows AZUREUS?

[asmithz]

I dont know it requires java and i dotn have it right now. 3rd gen noob recommends it tho.

azurees is the fastest but hogs resources, probley won't matter if you only have 1 torrent open
shadows is the best overall client

don't turn off your firewall just open 6881-6889 ports
really don't need that many
if you only have say 2 torrents max use 6881-6883
but thats whats slowing you down
router will do it also

[abu_has_the_power]

how do i do that with zonealarm?

i tried shadows, but for some torrents, it says connection refused.
