I have broadband highspeed , and right now i am trying to download a file on BT which is connected to 20 peers and a total speed of 600KB/s . My Download speed is 1 KB/s and max is 10KB/s . This always happens when i download with BT, so i'm wondering if there is anyway to fix this problem , please?
Also i've set my upload to 216 KB/s and my download is still very slow...
do you have 216 KB/s of upload to give?
that's just a little more than 1.5mbs upload....
If not, turn the upload to a more approprate setting.
Broken is absolutely right, the more bandwidth you allow for uploads, the slower your download.
As you will be seeding this file when it is completed you can allocate more then (you will be seeding, won't you?).
As a general rule you can upload to 1/8 of your available bandwith and 1/2 of this gives me my best results (current download speed is 60 to 90 kbps).
I have 1176/256 adsl and set my upload speed to 16 kbps.
After completion I raise the level to 32 kbps and seed to 200%. This can take a couple of days.
i set my upload to about 25 kb and my upload is more larger than my download no matter what, i set my settings to dialup/isdn and they are still slow...
its possible you have your BT ports blocked, usually happens if you have a router
are you getting a yellow light when you are downloading?

I will have to agree with Hackmed on this one, this sounds like your problem. I had the exact thing happen at my work.
Its not your upload speeds, actually Ive found the higher the upload the higher download rate I get.
hey, i have a router.
how can i unblock those ports?
well the images seem to be broken, but this guide may be able to help if you have a linksys router.
you can look in your routers manual on how to forward ports, you have to forward ports 6881-6999 (defult BT ports) to the computer's IP you are using BT on.
:D
edit: i noticed in your other thread Lyrok that you were talking about changing the ports in BT, this is not needed (unless you want to download off torrentbits) you just need to change the router port forward settings,
for example i use BT on my computer with an ip address of 192.168.1.101, all i did was go to the router settings>port forwarding enterd the port range (6881-6999) and then ticked the tcp box (not udp) then put the ip address in of 192.168.1.101 (the computer im forwarding too) :)

for my isp , the hisgesht upload speed i can get is 30-40KB (download is 380-400 KB) . In BT my upload is speed is higher than my download speed no matter what...and i dont have/use a router...
do you have a firewall program running?
is it fully disabled?
did this fix your problem?
If you have a firewall you shouldn't need to disable, just allow you BT program access to all the BT ports (6881 - 6999 will do) through the firewall. It is called different things in different firewalls, Packet Filter (Kerio), Trusted Apps? (Zone Alarm), Exception List (PcCillin) etc. etc.
You shouldn't really be noline without your firewall, especially if you have cable/xDSL :)
k id have to agree with hackmed and vegas on their sokutions, but im way too tired of all these ppl cpmplaining about slow speeds on BT, if you dont wanna go through the teouble of searching about this forum,or at least looking at the other 5 topics on bt slow speeds, then i dont think you should be creating a topic
also do you have any other things dling? and also give it some time, it may take a bit to connect to other peers, a dl can go from 2Kb TO 50 Kb In no time
and yes i do Know I am being a complete troll, im tired of seeing all these ppl bitch on how slow bt speeds are, yes some files are slow, and some (most) are fast
and try not dling off supr, join forum based communities, supr is leechville, even i leech off supr
First off no i dont have dsl.Quote:

dsl, broadband, cable, really not much different, theyre all fast
broadband is 3 times faster than dsl here....
are you getting these speeds on any specific torrents like kill bill 2 as the other day on suprnova there was one seed and about 4000 peers which would be crawling at first.
Try other torrents with a better seed to peer ration you should get better speeds then :)
while i agree with joining forum based torrent communities, i hope your joking about leeching yourself off nova mooseQuote:
