Bit Torrent

**Esal** · 11-12-2003, 03:06 AM

I use bit torrent to download almost everything, along with suprnova.org and the other great torrent sites. But pretty much everything I download, usualyl doesnt go over 40kb/sec, which is actually pretty fast compared to other p2p programs. i usually upload between 30-60, and usually uploaded twice as much than ive downloaded. Anyone get anything faster than this? Im on cable, pretty good cable too. I usually download thigns from websites at some times 300kb/sec, but cant seem to get highter than 40 with bit torrent.

And also, ive seen modified versions of bit torrent online, are these any good? anyone use them? and recommendations?

I am on cable and I usually get around 350 to 400kbs.

I use 56k, so i generally avoid using it as much as possible, usually i end up uploading more than downloading and my speeds are pretty low even when it does download.

200 to 300 if the seed/peer ratio is good, bt depends on alot

check your bandwith @ http://www.2wire.com I got a very fast cable and the max is around 600

my score is 4250 to 5322 at 2wire so it all depends
