Hey Can I Get Any Faster?

[SciManAl]

i am using shadow's client..
I have set my router with port forwardingi have agreen light.....
and i only get 1-30 kilobytes per second, on a 2.5 gbs cable hook up... and yes it really does go that fast...


can i go faster if so how??

[SciManAl]

btw i just tested my internet speed, so it is not bad at all (i took the test while dling a torrent that wouldn't get past 10 kbs)

Your download speed : 2077950 bps, or 2077 kbps.
A 253.6 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 214765 bps, or 214 kbps.
Seems like broadband .. above the 1mbit barrier!

Well you could always download other torrents at the same time, but i wouldnt recommend using shadows as it seems to have high cpu usage, try using the Abc client http://pingpong-abc.sourceforge.net/ it based on shadows but it has alot lower cpu usage i'm downloading about 7 torrents and it's only using 30 -50%,

You have 2mbit/256k btw not 2.5mbit. And your speed 1-30k/sec is what you start for the first half hour or so sometime it speeds up if more seed or user connect with you. Give it sometime patient is virtue :D

don't cheat, seed afterwards

High cpu usage??? your kidding me, i am downloading 2 torrent and cpu never even exceed 5 percentage. I'm using shadow's latest 5.87 plus cpu usage is dependent on how many users you connect to, more = more cpu load.
Getting 90-100k/sec with about 13 users per torrent = 26 users in all.

settle children no flaming...

i have no CPU usage problems, i am running 19 torrent files right now.. my cpu usage is at 10 percent... all in the settings...

as for the method below, i have tried it.. and it doesn't help that much, as i still have plenty of upstream bandwith left...(that is what the method does...)

first off, i took the test while downloading.. so it should be expected to be a bit slower... as for the gathering of seeds, i am only asking this question because of that very fact, that indeed after many hours of waiting (yes hours and days for some) i still don't hit more than 30kbs, i have never in my entire bittorrent life downloaded anything at over 30 kbs... sad indeed...

[SciManAl]

hey just an idea i got... does any 1 have a file that usualy has 100+seeders??
i want to see what i can push my speed at.. i tcould be simply bad selected torrents... any files with high poeple rate is cool! perhaps even a sample file from the mysterios invite only forum dl site they started hehehehe... :P just a thought

[muchspl2]

hold on ill fine one and tell you my speed

[muchspl2]

done, top about 200 before it compleated, green light, dialup cheat

[muchspl2]

we need more people trying this and posting thir speeds, + you get a cool app for the new nero

[SciManAl]

hmm still geting only 3 kbs seriosly disapointed with my comp... hrm... looks like its hammer time agin... *al turns and yells "HEY EARL YOU GOTTA A HAMMER" witch he replies with "SURE IN THE KITCHEN"*

ok that made no sense... but i am going to keep taps on the dl and see how fast it is...

[SciManAl]

ok sorry for post after post, but i did start runing at 30 kbs solid... as though i had a limit on there somewhere??? mayby ??

this is with the cheat

[SciManAl]

you know if we run it at he same time we will get better results.... can we schedule a time??

[MoneyAddyct]

What program do I use to calculate my CPU Usage?

--Nevermind. I wish I'd look for an answer *before* I post a question.

Maybe if you drop a dozen of those torrents you would have better luck.

I have noticed in the past that the more torrents I have open, the slower it goes. Even if they are not all taking up my full ul speed.

Your upload is only about 26kb and you are dividing that by 19? If you are uploading appropriately, you should see a better dl speed.

[muchspl2]

yes I tested it with no other torrents open, I believe thats your problem is your trying to get to many at one time

[SciManAl]

okay, i have ran with only 2 runnning... better, but still a little slow... i got to 50 kbs with the test file... it was okay, but i feel that it could be better but not sure how...

Try opening 100 bt's all at once, you should see them crawl like a turtle :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
Hell if you're bored and just looking for something to mess with...
It's great to killing time too..
