What i'm doing wrong?

[Nohope]

Hi!

I've got 512kb/s

and my upload (from speed tests) is 56kb/s or so (varies a bit)

Right now i'm runing BitComet 0.73

And I'v downloaded 0.3% of a file and my av. download is 2kB/s for roughly 8h

and upload 10!kB/s

I've uploaded 5 times what i;ve downloaded! :angry:

The torrent has many seeders

What to do?

Hi,

First, I will assume you understand the difference between kb/s and kB/s.

For any member who reads this and doesn't, then please note that 8kb/s = 1kB/s

Internet providers measure in kb/s and bit torrent clients measure in kB/s.

Now, regarding your torrent, if your max upload is 10kB/s, that means that you must have at least 80kb/s provided by your ISP.

NOTE: It is always recommended to fully go over our settings guides to get optimal performance

If this is the case, then you should set your maximum upload to about 80%, so in this case would be 8kB/s (although I would run a speed test with nothing running except your browser).

This will free up some bandwidth for comunication, and should help your download speed.

I understand the difference

I have written av. speed somtimes it reached 20+kB/s

I've changed my global ul to 5kB/s and now the Internet works good (then it didn't, it worked like I would have been conncting via modem )

but still my download is low 2-3kB/s (sometimes even 0 :( ) is there any way to improove my dl speed?

Thanks for the replay.

You need to be sure your listen port is open and working. If you have any peer connections showing REMOTE initiation, it's working. If they're all LOCAL or NAT, it's not.

I happen to have a question that is slightly relevent...where do you find the so-called "Remote" peers or the "Local or NAT" status?

In your list of connected peers, it will classify them as local, remote or nat.

Regarding the initial poster, I would try setting your max upload to 8kB/s.

The lower your upload, the less download you will get. The idea is to give as much as possible, but not so much that it kills your responce time.

I suggest you try running one of these torrents, and see how it works...

They are very well seeded, and should show you what your setup is capable of running.
