spastis Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 What's better PPoe,PPoa or bridged PPoe for bitcomet?I have a 768/192 connection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petch01 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 You probably mean PPPOE and PPPOA. The first means Point-to-Point Protocol Over Ethernet and the other -Over ATM. This is not a setting and thus not related to BitComet. It's a protocol how you are connected to your Internet Service Provider. There is no choice in it.

spastis Posted November 23, 2006 Author Share Posted November 23, 2006 Thanks!but does the protocol affect my general speed,the ping,or the quality of connection with different peers,thus the speed in bitcomet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kluelos Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 The simple answer is "no". The more complex answer is that you cannot choose one or the other on your network connection -- you have to conform to what your ISP provides or your connection will fail. If you were choosing between one ISP or another, with this as the only difference between them, you would not experience a speed difference just on that basis. Your speed is mostly determined by the composition of the swarm for that torrent at that moment, and by various network interactions and latencies. That part is the huge, overwhelming portion of your connectivity. All of the rest is the tiny, miniscule fractional difference. There just isn't much you can do that is worth doing about the 0.5% of the question that you can affect. It's the 99.5% you can't affect that could make any noticeable difference in your speed.
