Speed Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Those are my upload/download rates. Ok, i have read almost every guide there is to speeding up my torrents. I usually get around 60kB/s Up and around 20kB/s down. i have set my upload to just 45kB/s (80%) and left my donwload to No Limit. but nothing changed! i did everything in the settings guide, but it didn't help! I have set my ports and have no firewall. why can't it go any higher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The UnUsual Suspect Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 when I convert you speed test results kb/s to bit torrents units kB/s, this is your proper speed results Download 151kB/s Upload 57kB/s by todays standards, this is rather slow, but I expect some torrents may reach 100kB/s or higher from time to time, but over all, your downloads will reflect your upload limits. I suggest you confirm your ports are seen as "open" here... http://www.canyouseeme.org/ and if so, then you might have to cut back your upload a bit more, perhaps 40kB/s, but do this only when downloading, not when seeding. Also, don't expect to see results within seconds of making a change, always allow 10-30 minutes foryour upload rates to register in tracker and swarm before you can see higher downloads. Also make small changes, and observe. Here is a good torrent to test your client with... http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/index.html download this one and you should get an idea of what your system/connection is capable of.

The UnUsual Suspect Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 just because it says it can't see the ports, doesn't mean they don't work, it just means your router, or firewall is basically hiding them. I still don't know if you have a router, but if you do, then you won't get optimal performance until you forward your port properly.

The UnUsual Suspect Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 portforward.com has guides for most routers to setup you listening port. you should also set a static IP address in windows for all your computers using the router, or you may need to change your router settings when you reboot your computer. They have a guide for this as well, and their guides have pictures. Suspect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Posted October 15, 2006 Author Share Posted October 15, 2006 (edited) Thanks so much, i got my download up to around 60kB/s and a max of 70kB/s. Edited October 17, 2006 by Dark_Shroud (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The UnUsual Suspect Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 That will be about as good as it gets with your connection, but you may see some torrents running faster. I'm glad I was able to help you :) Suspect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
