Bt Downloading

I got 34 peers and 4 seeds connected, but my download speed is only 6kb/sec ;) .
First I would like to say I already allowed ports to use BT (6881 - 6999) and I'm sharing at a reasonable rate so my download doesn't get choked.

But I'm still get very low speeds on mt 256k adsl connection.
Since i"m using shad0w's experimental client, I can tell by using the advanced tab. OUt of 34 peers and 4 seeds only 7 are sharing.

And, I realise all my peers are interested but are choked/snubbed watever. So I'm very sad to say that 7 are sharing and the other 27 are choked or not sharing, imagine how much speed I can get if this guys are sharing.

Can anyone tell me h ow to reduce choke?? I reallyneed the speed. thanks

Well your just going to have to wait it out and take what BT gives out.

I asked this on another thread the other day

"How long have you (not you personally gre 1)een using computers"
I wonder sometimes how relevant the advice given is because it seems so nOObish

oh i cant b bothered

You mean 27 out of 34 users being choked is normal? The thing's been downloading for 1 whole day. If it's meant to start it's about damned time.

That's because the person uploading might not have a fast connection.

yeah its all about luck with BT to do with speed I can get a movie within a few hrs but one time it took a few days!!

I tyr to re connect it sometimes does work if you connect to a faster peer

how do you connect to a faster peer. and i hope the answer is not luck

Ask "MUSSLEMAN" He knows it all. he answered every question on the"Questions" board 2 nights ago with the same answer?

I'll look into musleman's post, but I was fiddling around with the client and I clicked on "finish allocation". Ok, what the heck did that allocation thing do? My download doesn't seem to be affected but what has it performed?

:lol:
