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

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.

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?

Re above:

No, he gave the same answer to different questions asked!

All download speed questions are nothing to do with your "ports" etc, only about your upl vs dl ratio, and and the client that your up'ing froms speed. So only on the only on the rarest of occaisions, can YOU change it, so live with it!

With Shadow's client you want to status light to be green not yellow. You could of let those ports through software firewall lets say but not hardware router/firewall. You have to do in both or it will not work. If the light is green the speed should speed up soon. Ever since I made myself un-firewalled I have been getting great speeds on BT.

Will you all forget ports, routers and firewalls :lol:

What affects your speed not access is the question.

Seriously WTF are you talking about? Are you trying to imply that in BT that it doesnt matter if you open ports and firewalls have nothing to do with speed? Your a f*cking dumbass!

Yes I am suggesting that. And no I'm not, potty mouth

It does not affect the actually speed coming in yes, like you can still get 200 if you have 2mb connection but less with ports not open and firwewalls turned on you end up connecting to less ppl and less ppl sending you the data.

What are you like in 4th grade? You called me a potty mouth o0o0o0o0o0o0 I am shaking in my little booties. :lol:

don't go off-topic now guys.

no one told what finish allocation does. And yes I'm downloading on a green status light, I already allowed ports 6881-6999 to enter.

And here's another qeustion, is it normal for the bt client to stop downloading but have no error message? Throughout my time downloading the rest of the 30% of my MP2 download I have already froze on my download with no error messages 3 times.

Is it normal that my status light is green, everything seems normal, eg estimated time shown, peers connected shown, no error messages but I'm not uploading or downloading at all??

to finish allocation is to fully allocate the space required for the complete file on ur harddisk. i guess how this MAY increase ur speed is tat it opens up more parts to be downloadable, so the client could look for more peers to download the parts from. have tried it a few times, but it doesn't seem to work for me. the only thing it does is tat it increases the initial startup time('checking existing files' phase) when u restart the download, which sucks. reminds me of the earlier builds where file sizes are fully allocated... <_<
