jon_hill987 Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 I hate it, maybe its because of my conection, but it takes for ever to download anything. My download rate hardly creaps above 1kb/s whereas i can get around 60kb/s with most ftp files. what is going on? it's supposed to be quick.

Nerd_Annhilator Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 Are you on a router? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_hill987 Posted November 15, 2004 Author Share Posted November 15, 2004 yes, wireless. Is that bad with bit torrent? the internet speed is fast enough. The internet conection is shaired across the house with a wireless router, I didn't set it up so I can't tell you more than that at the moment. EDIT: its actualy speeding up a bit now, but it is hardly fast (3kb/s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acdcfanbill Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 normally u have to forward ports in the router i think. also, ISP's are starting to throttle known bittorrent ports, so try setting a non standard one, i ususally use one somewhere in the 50k range. i love bittorrent, its awesome for gettnig the latest distros of w/e linux your running, waaaaayyy faster than having to wait for the ftp transfers that i used to get them from.

ET Warrior Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 Oooh, that would be delightful for someone to 'splain how to set up my ports and configure me router so my bittorrent would go more quickstyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swphreak Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 The original Bit torrent program sucks. Azureus is the stuff. I used to get really slow speeds with Bit Torrent because my upload was overshadowing my download. With Azureus, I was able to set upload to a reasonable level and get good speeds.

EDIT: got the password, now bit torrent is downloading at a more acceptable speed, still not brilliant but then the speed is suposed to change depending on how popular the file is. Thanx again, I knew I could count on the swampies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alegis Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Azureus is ace indeed. Very router friendly as well. Forward port 6881 As for forwarding ports, i learned it here. nice topic it is, http://forums.furthurnet.org/viewtopic.php?t=1541 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Sitherino Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 I recommend people not use the default ports. Use a broad range actually. It really helps you establish connections quicker, overall really helps your speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
