Why Is This Happening?

[abu_has_the_power]

i'm dling rotk the 2dvd image (8 gig), and i'm connected to 102 peers with total speed of 2504kb/s! and yet, i'm only dling at 35kb/s!!!! WTFFFF!!! :angry: :cry1: :huh:
y is this happening? y can't i dl faster?

no, i have nothing else using any bandwidth, and my firewall and router are all configured to allow the bt ports. y can't i go faster? my upld speed is around 30kb/s, and hasn't changed for 2 days.

anyone wanna shine some light? i've had htis happen b4, but when ur trying to dl a 8 gig file, it's pretty annoying

[Adster]

lol you think thats slow i can't get off 0.0kb :lol: and yes theres plenty of seeds just be patient and wait eventually luck will come your way

[delphin460]

man use mirc , i got the full dvd rip quality return of the king 3 x 700 meg xvid ac3 in like 6 hours and its awsome

get the scream version its the best

[bilko]

if ya uploads at 30 i think u should bring it down a bit, put max uploads to 10 and max speed to 15 - this is if u are using shadows, now the uploda should come down and ya download will rise

The problem's not always at your end. :)

[the mask]

what connection speed are you on?

[delphin460]

1500 adsl 10meg a minute, and a few tweaks in mirc and it never goes below 160k/s

i thought "ur dl speed is related to ur upld speed". so if my upld speed is lower, the dl speed rises?

and i don't think this version is on irc. i'm talking bout the one with chinese subs. (i have a few threads in movieworld bout this)

If you can only upload at 32KB max (ie 256 kb up) then (afaik) an upload speed of 30KB basically means that your connection is flooded ie requests for stuff to download (ie the overheads) are being slowed or queued because theres no upload bandwidth spare. Set the max upload to about 25 - 27KB (if u have a 256 upload speed) that should speed up your downloads a bit. But as other people said it might not be a problem at your end, if the seed : peer ratio is low then that might be the cause.

the ratio is 1.5

Turn it off and restart the torrent ,many versions and types of bittorrent have their own issues and errors.
Some of which many may never get to see.
Dont worry its not like irc you wont loose your place in line lol

HOLY SHIT MAN&#33;&#33;&#33; OMG&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; I JUST REACHED 80KB/S DOING THIS&#33;&#33;&#33; OMG&#33;&#33; THANKS SO MUCH MAN&#33;&#33; WOW. NEVER KNEW THAT LOWERING UR SHARE SPEED COULD HELP SO MUCH&#33;&#33;&#33; WOW&#33;&#33;&#33;



damn&#33; now it&#39;s gone back down to 35

does the superseed have anything to do with this?

nevermind, now i&#39;m back up to 75&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; holy shit&#33;&#33; y didn&#39;t u guys tell me this earlier?&#33;?&#33;? i could&#39;ve saved so much energy and frustration&#33;
but thanks anyway. now this thing will finish much faster

[muchspl2]

it doesn&#39;t don&#39;t use it

[abu_has_the_power]

i&#39;m up at 101 now&#33;&#33; i&#39;m blowing my brains&#33;&#33;

does this work with smaller torrents too? like a dvd rip (less than 1 gig to 1.5 gigs) or a game (around 1.5-2.8 gigs)?

[jetje]

yes it does...

don;t forget to seed afterwards (hopefully full speed&#33;) what you got&#33; go for the 1:1 ratio... It will be the only way to maintain good speeds using bittorrent ;)

I can get up to 280 on Shadow&#39;s (i should be able to get up to 450 but w/e). I usually leave it on T3 for awhile to get connections. Then after maybe 10 min I switch it to Dial-up and the thing skyrockets. Make sure you always reseed afterwards B)

Yea it works on all files.

Well I guess you finally got the message although I meant to say lower your ul, I actually have to cut my upload down to 20k in order to get good sppeds which makes me believe bt has alot of overhead considering I have 32k upload, and of course just don&#39;t forget to raise you ul back when done and seed the file...

[abu_has_the_power]

yea. i&#39;m keeping it on all nite tonite

thanks a lot guys

[abu_has_the_power]
