WAY too slow torrents--->HELP pls

**Delorean** · 09-07-2005, 02:15 PM

Hello guys, i really need some help here...

I am on DSL (1Mb) and every time i try to download a torrent the speed is way too slow.

When i say slow i mean 0-3 or 5 KB/s. But every time i download a regular download from any site the speed is 90KB/s at least!

I use bitlord or bitornado. I always end up uploading at least 8 times more of than i downloaded, since i upload with a speed of 18-20 when i limit it to 20!

Do you have any suggestions? i would really apreciate it.

PS: i've never tried to download from a private site

try limiting your upload speed to 12-15KB
forward your listening ports if behind a router

I have the same problem. I get real slow download speeds for BT like 2-5 kb/s and i am also not behind a router or a firewall. My max upload speed is 12 kb/s but i limited it to 8 kb/s. I tried different BT clients and different torrents but all give me the same results.
