PotatoLock Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 I've been using torrents for a while now, and I always thought that slow speeds like 20kb/s were just normal for torrents. But recently I've heard from people that they are downloading torrents at 100kb/s NORMALLY and sometimes get up to 800kb/s!!! I don't have a slow internet connection, it's not cable but I'm pretty sure it's the fastest that DSL can get. My torrent speeds are set to unlimited on bitcomet. Is there anything I can do to increase how much I download per second? Or does it just depend on my internet connection and how many people are seeding a certain torrent? Any help would be great, thank you! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Shroud Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Yes, you should limit your upload, also find out if your ISP throttles bittorrent. I know SBC/AT&T does. Read through our settings guide to set up BitComet for your connection/computer. Since you're new to this do not patch service pack 2, its a lot more trouble than its worth.

PotatoLock Posted August 4, 2006 Author Share Posted August 4, 2006 Ya, I get my service from at&t. That explains it I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Shroud Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 I have the SBC DSL Pro Plan, as a rule my upload does not go above 70KBs, sometimes I get a spike upto 90KBS for a few seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PotatoLock Posted August 4, 2006 Author Share Posted August 4, 2006 woah, this is wierd. I limited my upload really low just to see if it would work, and then my kb/s went down for both up and dn!!! What the h***!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Shroud Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 I'm not sure what you're trying to say. But anyway BitComet or BitTorrent in general will flood your upload casuing a huge bottle neck. With it limited it can flow through without a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
