bit torrent and ADSL
 

since getting my new connection, i have noticed my downloads are slower despite having twice the download speed, i have opened the ports on my router, but i still get max 60-70k, at burst speeds, most of the time it sits at 8-20kb/s, so is there anything i can do ?

cant see adsl being the problem :confused:

Re: bit torrent and ADSL
 

27 seeds +238 peers 8mbit (or higher) per second, i did max my download speed on cable quite easily with similar figures............

Re: bit torrent and ADSL
 

Maybe if u got a faster line ??? :confused: ;)

Re: bit torrent and ADSL
 

lol, i confused you, thats what the torrent speed is for combined users, i got 120kb/s on similar 'peered' torrents..............

confused us , are you sure you are not :confused: :D :D :D :D

Re: bit torrent and ADSL
 

Bit torrent's download is suppose to be proportional to the upload, but if you set the maximum upload just below the speed of the connection you get a performance boost - I'm not entirely sure of the technical reason - it's just my experience.

im using the azureus client, just boosted my upload to max left it there and nothing :erm:

Re: bit torrent and ADSL
 

What speed is your new connection?

Re: bit torrent and ADSL
 

its 2mbit, in theory i should get atleast 150kb/s if i limit my upload with those stats i showed for that torrent, also i cant browse one of the torrent sites on ADSL, yet on my NTL connection i can.......

you aint gonna get 150 , it will always be slightly less than that , mind you i am still jealous :mad: :mad: :mad: ;)
