markgixxer750 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 I`m kinda new to the whole torrent scene, I used to use Kazaa light but the was a couple of years ago now. I'm using Bitcomet at the moment and am getting an average download speed of 29 KB/s and the highest I have seen it at is 61 KB/s. This is on a 2MB (nominal) link. Does this seem ok? I have fiddled with a few settings and it seems to have made some improvement ie the amount of half-open connections and the amount of upload b/w etc. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Clarkey Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Seems ok yes, all depends on how popular the torrent is. The latest tv shows the day after airing will usually max out a connection. Bitcomet is a bit oldskool now though tbh, uTorrent is the flavour of the day, smaller, faster, easier to configure/use, and the RSS extension stands to be very good, i've never managed to make it work though. I have a 2mb line with 256k upstream and after much experimentation have found the optimal upstream speed to be 17kb/s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nissan300 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 I sometimes max my connection at 1.2mb per sec but on average get about 400kb on my ntl 4mb connection, if you have a 2mb connection your upload should be set to about 35kb as in the uk we have great download but crap upload with our providers. hope this helps.

Jay Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 if you have a firewall/router check your NAT, I use Azureus and one of the ports 16889 or something like that needs to be open and passed through otherwise I never get more than a 50K Download. Limit your upload to 18Kb Max on a 2MB link, and you should be pulling down 250K Constantly, like me :) Depends on torrent seeding etc but your speeds should be higher than what you specified http://www.mininova.org is a fairly good un for music/software etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
