yeah for the most part. it depends greatly on the tracker and the torrent itself. Ohhh how i miss "lokitorrent"
why do you ask? Know something i don't? lol...
I d\loaded bitlord the program is pretty straight forward. I was going to ask how you configered Azureus to work with bitlord. I am completely unfamiliar w\azureus, and i want to test the two together to see what kind of speeds i get.

Morste...
I'm assuming you set bittornado to dsl\cable slow. try varying the max upload speed from 19-29 kBps. 19 is usually the best, but sometimes 25 or even 29 is the way to go...
Check the advanced tab at the top to see what everyone elses d\load speed is, if everyone elses speed is like yours on that particular torrent. than thats all you can expect to get, if they are all much faster than you,
(like there all getting 100+kBps to your 31kBps)then you have a problem....Torrents vary greatly
The speeds of your peers all won't be the same, some are fast, some are painfully slow, but they are proportional and will give you an idea.....also trackers vary greatly
Make sure you open the accelerator and set to find new sources every 3 minutes, And check the "accelerate all d\loads in bittorent" box. then hit "enable"
But Morste, just so you know sometimes i'll also get slow speeds like yours on the more finicky, or not so popular torrents. I think everyone sometimes does,(I think)
But with the seeds and peers in the high numbers like your talking you should get higher speeds, Keep tyin'...........
Peace

Cheers.
Also when you click on preferences is there a certain port range to have or doesn't it really matter.
Thankyou.

I am new to bittorrent and am finding the speeds of it very slow. I have windows ME (millenium Edition) on my computer and i have 512mb adsl internet connection. I am connected directly to a modem (not through a router) so i dont think that is the problem. I dont think windows ME has a built in firewall and i dont have another one installed. The only thing i thought of was it could have been Norton Antivirus 2001 which i have installed but i disabled it for downloading a torrent but there was no improvment. Any help would be much ppreciated.

HEY REDSCORPI!!!!!
As you know i have always been the bitornado\accelerator guy. Well, I said i was going to give bitlord a try,I did and it's fricking awesome! I'm averaging 150 kBps easy. It never falls down below 100 kBps.
And the upside is that its much more stable on my computer than Bitornado. oohhhhh it's sweet..

I'm new here and a bit new at this bittorrent thing. After reading through so many post i have tried it and got the green light using Azureus. This is when i go to using Internet explorer, i notice the slow speed and also my MSN keeps logging on and off. It seems as though Azureus is chewing up all the bandwidth.
Any Idea on what can be happening and what to do.
I'm in Australia with 1500 connection so it not that i'm limited to speed.
Please help.

One other thing i forgot to mention is my speed is still very slow. All green lights but still getting speed of 1 - 10 and it not a constant connection either. Downloads for a bit and then drops and then downloads again. Why????

what the hell tredari, u gonna make me download bitlord again lol. maybe i should.
ocm, im pretty sure that your problem is due to a too high of a "max upload speed" setting on your Azureus options. the reason i know is because of what u said on ur previous post:
Quote:
i notice the slow speed and also my MSN keeps logging on and off.
this is a clear sign of a high "max upload speed" setting.
So to fix it just go to Tools, Options, click on Transfer, and then just lower the number that you have under the "KB/s global max upload speed [0: unlimited]" option.
If u ran the Configuration Wizard it is very likely that it set this option too high for ur connection. i know it sets it too high when i run it, so i have to go and lower this number.
Having the green light is a good thing. lowering the "max upload" not only fixes ur slow browsering problems it can also increase ur download speed. having the green light and lowering this number u should be able to get faster downloads and be able to browser the internet with ease too (and log on to msn).
NOTE: lowering the "max upload" number too much can decrease download speed too.
so once u lower this number let me know if it did anything because finding the number that works best is a whole 'nother story.
peace out, good luck

I have tried what you said Redscorpi and it seems to have work. Just out of curiousity, does download more than one file at a time slows down the transfer rate?

ocm...
if ur d\load speed is at the max, (around 150kBps)usually... then d\loading multiple files will slow that particular one, but overall shouldn't slow. If you can only get like 30-40kBps per file than u should definatally d\load more than one at a time.
Sometimes i have to d\load up to 4 files to get my max speed.. If you do that make sure you turn up the,(max simultanous download tasks) that way you can d\load more pieces of each file at the same time...

having two or three downloads running, i think, will not alter ur download rate. but once u start having four or more downloads running simultaneously, thats when ur download rate will decrease for a couple of downloads.

ok, now i have a question....
I've been d\loadind a game. When the file gets to like 99.1% it then falls back down to like 97.1% in a never ending cycle.
So basically the % done will go up and come back down over and over, in the high 90's(%). I can't seem to complete the file.
WTF???
I've never ran into this before, How do I solve this??

Ok people heres the answer your all looking for... i was using bitcomet and getting download speeds of about 5kbps and i tried all these tricks of opening port and nothing worked so i looked for another option and found that bitcomet had a proxy option so i typed in the address of a anonymous proxy, and straight away my download speeds increased and now im getting a steady download speed of 50kbps.

sorry forgot 2 add this bit 2 the above post...
if you still have slow download speeds even with a proxy change the listening port to 80.
HOPE IT ALL WORKS A BIT BETTER NOW

ppl, do u know that some internet services automatically close those ports...or something like that... for example, I live in Estonia and useing Kodu ADSL and all ports r closed by Elion, the company who offers that Kodu ADSL service, so it's no wonder that I'm getting slow d/load speeds although I've done that firewall stuff and everything

Yep that's right if you're in the uk Tiscali also cap all P2P software including Bit Torrent. It took me weeks to find out even though I was port forwarding and optimising my internet connection. Apparently there's going to be a lot more of it with other ISP because there's more demand than supply with bandwidth

If I have missed a previous post I'm sorry but I read most of them and got inpatient.
I have a speedtouch 330, working on 1mb connection..running Windows XP SP2...that's all I know...I have read most of these other post and non of them really help much..or seem too complicated to me. I'm using Azureus I have turned off my windows firewall and used the EvID4226Patch212 patch and I still max out at 4kbps if I'm lucky...is there anything i might have missed or could someone help me in some way...
CHEERS!!
