Just broke my Bit Torrent download record with a rather respectable 462 kB/s. Nowhere near usenet speeds, but my best ever on BT.
It was The F Word, from UKNova, using BitTornado.
i had a few KB faster than my actual speed once.
132K is my max i think, pretty good considering i can only actually go 128 :01:
:blink:
NTL just gave out upgrades. I think I now have more bandwidth than my PC can cope with now, but that's OK as I have 4 (sometimes 5) thro' the same wireless network.
Maybe I need to upgrade something, the gateway is only 811b (or whatever) is that maybe too slow to cope with 10Mb, to various different machines. Or does it not work that way.

Your right, I can get 11, it shows up in the system tray. So that shouldn't be a prob, thanks for that.Quote:

Wireless is also more popliar with Mrs JP, due to neatness and ease of moveage.
how big is your house like?
UKNova is ace, especially if you can get a good ratio and get in on the torrents early doors.Quote:

I download the torrents to my download folder. Then I restart them every so often to see if anyone is interested. It means you can seed for the latecomers when other people have stopped, can help the ratio.Quote:

I was thinking of getting them to watch as I've missed the series on the tele.Quote:

I find the method I mentioned above helps.Quote:

i had the misfortune of seeing bleak house some time in the last few days. what a load of shite. boring nothing happens shite. just shite. no word describes it better than shite. apart from maybe tired shite. but it is shite. if i could have moved comfortably i would have hung myself
jump on new stuff with only one seed and leave it for a bit. that's how i discovered jedi mind tricks :01:Quote:

some guy over at TB has been using a 1GB connection server to seed some stuff, im sure u could max ur connection out from his upload easy :lol:
So get on torrents as early as possible in order that more people will leech off you.
Good thinking, chaps :rolleyes:
i mean like even ones you don't want :snooty:Quote:
