ZikO Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 I have no idea what the Linksys is. is it modem or router? Do you also use software firewall? You need to have local and remote peers open and DHT is also very welcome - i think you need to open both TCP and UDP protocols for BitComet. Check whether your listening port, open for BitComet, is really open by going there here, becuase until it's open you can't connect to remote peers. If it's not you need to check your port forwarding again. Afterwards, you can check this torrent. It's very fast and if it uses max connection, it means you have probably configured BitComet properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The UnUsual Suspect Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Hi, What is your max upload and download speeds provided by your isp? Also, I suggest you run ONE very healthy torrent, and observe what your upload speeds are, then limit your max upload to about 80% of its adverage speed. This will allow some of your bandwidth to communicate with the tracker. This seems to be the most common problem with bit torrent protocall. Its kinda ironic since the first rule of bit torrent is the more you upload, the more download the tracker will send, but if your client is using all your bandwidth to upload, it will be slow to respond to the tracker, and you will recieve slow download. The trick is to find out just how much upload you can provide without bogging down your client. If you want a torrent to test with, I too will recommend some. http://newvoyages.blogsite.org All torrents there are seeded by high speed servers, and will give you an accurate test of what your system can do.

If it's not you need to check your port forwarding again. they said it's ok it's opend :unsure: Afterwards, you can check this torrent.

kluelos Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Well, first, it's OpenOffice, so what's to understand? If you understand what MSOffice does, then you understand what OpenOffice does. Second, you dont' need to understand. It's a large, well-served torrent, so it's a great test of your connectivity. Doesn't MATTER what the content is, you're testing the download speed. Delete it after the download finishes, or install and use it instead of MSWord/Excel/Access/Powerpoint etc., it's up to you and beside the point. The download will tell you what speed your properly configured hookup is capable of. It should be very fast, and if not, something's wrong, but just how fast will tell you what you need to know.

The UnUsual Suspect Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Hi I suggest you not reply to questions from within the "quotes", as its confusing to understand. You can put each question in "quotes" by doing the following... [quote]enter question here[/quote] or by simply putting the others members inside "these" It will make your reply easier to understand. suspect ps. if you prefer to test on a small download, there are a few small ones (30mb) at the site I posted.

The UnUsual Suspect Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 so it's a programe like the torrent clients?? :huh: (sorry I don't know MSO office :unsure: ) You are missing the whole point. Just start the download to see if your speeds are good. you DO NOT have to finish the download, and it doesn't matter what files/programs in includes. THIS IS JUST A TEST Suspect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuriko Posted July 3, 2006 Author Share Posted July 3, 2006 my download speed 7.71 my upload speed is 30.6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZikO Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Please, don't cite the whole someone's message. At the bottom of window you have three buttons: Fast Replay, Add Replay, New Topic. If you want to answer just click Fast Replay or Add Replay. If you really need to cite someone just cite his main point. No matter what the Open Office or MS Office are. If you want to know whether your connection is good you need to find very healthy torrent, because when you transfer is poor while you use fast, best and healthy torrent, it means that threre's something wrong with your connection. If that torrent goes very fast and different torrents go very slow it means you've found poor torrents and you can do nothing with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakou Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Hi folks, and at last something for us duffers! Started this weekend with d/l speeds about 3 - 4 KBs, after a worrying two days when I had completely disabled my connection EXCEPT for BitComet and Soulseek now 120kBs!! (still not fast enough but....) Thanks for the link to the warp factor type Star Trek torrent stream, to know that I CAN get this speed is V. reassuring. Anyways, done all the port forwarding and stuff, have a so called 8Mb connection, nothing else being used, 120 KBs is my record. Surely should be 8142/8 ..... Or am I REALLY dim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakou Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 And or ps... Am I right in thinking that people using torrents for test purposes aren't a problem, as when they are DLing they are also ULing?? If not, wouldn't it be a good thing if there were torrents always available for testing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kluelos Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 That particular torrent is pretty much always available, since OpenOffice.org wants to distribute it as widely as they can. And when you consider that this is Sun's answer to Microsoft, don't worry about bogging down their servers. (Yawn, it's slowing down a little, time to pop another blade in the rack...) You should be doing better than 120 KB/s, with that connection, but what it's advertised as and how it actually performs most of the time are two different things. There are many speed-test sites on the web, try one of them, following their instructions carefully, to find out what your up and down bandwidth is really like.

Dark_Shroud Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 And when donig a speed test remember to turn off you file shareing programs and what ever else you're running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
