Re: Ridiculously low speeds on BitTorrent

I've always had ridiculously low speeds on BitTorrent.
Max speeds of 20 kb/s, if that? (On a 2meg Connection)

Problem was that i need to open the correct ports that BitTorrent uses..

I have tried BitLord, only to find that that wasn't giving me great speeds.

What you have to remember about BitTorrent is that it is a P2P - Peer to Peer - Which means that if a small number of people who have the file (who are willing to share/seed) are online at the time you want to download, your download will not go as fast as a download in which a large number of people with the file (who are willing to share/seed) are online...

If forwarding the correct ports to your router (I believe BitLord and BitTornado use 2766 (although i may be wrong) ) then I don't know how to help you, sorry.
