well for one drop whatever you think is the best bt client and get shad0ws client, or something built on shad0ws core like torrent storm or ABC
then even if your on broadband, put your connection on dial up/isdn and you should get better speeds than on unlimited, but if you do this your cheating
and you will download more than you upload and could ultimately hurt the bt community
so if you do this make sure you leave it open AFTER IT FINISHES!!!!! at least a 1 to 1 ratio
more the better, its just not fair to the other if you don't
if you want to leach look into irc or news gourps

DSL/Cable Slow would be more like it (at least for me, cable user). Speeds tend to hit anywhere from 150 kB/s - 225 kB/s. As muchspl2 said that would be considered cheating if you close after completing the download. Do your part and give back, I usually leave it running and allow a few more to complete to increase seeders.




Those of you asking, use the latest Experiment version vS.5.8.7, has fixes from previous versions.

I am cable user...But I never get that kind of speed....and I have it on dsl/cable slow....I did get about 120 -150 kb/s a couple of times...But its really rare...Even tho the file has over 100 seeders I never get that speed.Dunno what Im doing wrong

thanx for the link ZaZu!

Hey muchspl2, how can you get those speeds when I only can get this:


???

I&#39;m on 1Mbps cable.

Hi,

Bittorrent is like MIRC, you get qued&#33; When you start up. You can get shitty speeds at first cause you are in line with 10-20 other people getting the same file. Leave it going and make sure you dont have any others going at the same time.
