imheretostay Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 (edited) I recently got my new pc (last tuesday), and downloaded a folder on it that was 3.8 GB large, the download was fine and all, and it is a very active torrent, but I accidentaly deleted the folder, and I am trying to download it again. However, my download speed won't go above 0kb/s. I have tried bitcomet, azureus, bittorrent, abc, and many more, and all of them will go to 30kb/s the first few minutes then slowly go down to 0.0kb/s. It isn't the torrent, because it's very active. Is there anything I need to set for it to download speedy? I have zonealarm pro, and I am on a home network where I am the only one on cable, the rest are on wireless. I am usually the only one on, except for the afternoons, but it's late night here. Edit: Oh, and, WinXP Pro SP2, AVG Free, and ZoneAlarmPro trial.

Spenc938 Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 My torrents never go above 5kb. It really sucks cause the files are usually a few gbs and it takes forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf68k Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 If you want to make sure your bittorrent client's settings are correct.... 1. Stop ALL downloads 2. Take a Speed Test. Pick one close to you. 3. Go to http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/ 4. Select the version=2.0.2, Platform=Windows (with bundled JRE), Language=English 5. Download and start the torrent. Give some time to catch up but your download speeds here should match your Speed Test speeds. If it's not matched, or atleast close to it, then your client isn't configured correctly. It doesn't matter if you want OpenOffice or not, but it just to test our client's speeds nothing more. You can delete the file later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spenc938 Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Open office downloads at the right speeds, but nothing else does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf68k Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I knew there was something I forgot to mention. If OpenOffice downloads at the right speed, then there is nothing you can do. Torrent speeds are determined by the seeds' speeds. If the seeds aren't putting out high speeds to you it's because they are splitting their load between you and a number of other people. So get to be so over worked that they just deny many of the peers that are making request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This happens to me on every torrent, while the torrents are fine and fast on my old computer, and my firnds computers. The problem returned, and I got a screenshot of something that might be useful. BTW, I am using port 55233 on azureus, and I have these ports forwarded on my router. edit: now it says NAT is okay, but the speeds are quite low. I'll leave it on and see if it goes up, cause, due to the torrent site, it should be a VERY active torrent.

Spenc938 Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 People are always talking about private trackers, how do these work? Also, examples? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waste Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 People are always talking about private trackers, how do these work?Also, examples? A private tracker is a tracker that requires you to keep a certain share ratio. If you do not keep this sahre ratio, you will sometimes get banned from the tracker. In other words, it keeps the leechers out and the seeders in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
segosa Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 (edited) An active torrent doesn't guarantee great speeds. I've given up with public torrents, I now get all my stuff from private trackers (scenetorrents, torrent-damage, oink, supertorrents), which contain mostly scene releases (i.e. the newest stuff). I max out my speeds on all the torrents. Edited June 29, 2006 by segosa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
