my download speed : 692 kbps or 86.5 KB/sec.
my upload speed : 173 kbps or 21.7 KB/sec.
i do live in the US, i have only one puter in the house , home network and with a moden and yes a wire from the modem to the puter when i start d/l it speed says 4kB/s but it jups up to 8kb/s then says total speed with 38 peers is 84kB/s

d_rock_29, just a little lingo correction for you 1st. A home network, the operative term here being "network" and that word implies you have more than one computer hooked up into your own little network.. Or you could be in an office environment with a lot of other computers on a larger private network too. A router, if you had one, is the boss-man of a network. It would know which computer is which on your network, and know which sent what out and visa versa knows who gets what coming in. The router then is hooked up to the modem. The modem does not know there is a home network, it just feeds the stuff out and into the router, so you see a router is smart, modem dumb - also to people on the Internet everyone on your home network might appear to them as the same computer (same IP address).. Also as far as networks, the Internet is a network too, a huge one for sure.
As far as your speeds:
> my download speed : 692 Kbps or 86.5 KB/sec.
> my upload speed : 173 Kbps or 21.7 KB/sec.
Great, you've done the math.. So torrent programs use KB/s, a good speed to enter into the "max upload speed" field in the torrent program you are using is 17 (17 KB/s, which is about 80% of 21.7 KB/s). You could experiment up or down (16 or 18) also..
If you want to get more serious about torrents, you might consider purchasing the next speed bracket upwards that your DSL ISP offers. Your upload speed is probably on the verge of being fast enough to realize OK download speeds, and your download speed is OK if maxed out, but I think you'd do better with an ISP account that gets 250 Kbps (about 30 KB/s) upload and 1000 Kbps (125 KB/s or 1 Mbps) download speed. In fact with 250 Kbps up I at times reached 2 Mbps with very popular torrents, though it happens a bit more now that I have a 400 Kbps upload. --> Still though, if you can manage get a download speed using all of your download capability, 600 Kbps (75 KB/s) is not a bad average all in all..
By the way a Netgear 54 Mbps wireless router (can use a wire too, has 4 ports) is like $29 these days, and a cheap Pentium 3 is like $75, and a P3 even one that has Windows 98 on it, makes a decent "torrent getting machine" so your main computer isn't tied up and sluggish all of the time. And since it is a home network that you'd have set up, you can later easily transfer the torrents to your main computer.

Perhaps you meant to post the LVlord link that ups Windows XP's SP2's limited full connection from 10 up to your choice, but 1000 is good. ...The SP2 block was put in to help stop WORMs from proliferating. But before I used it I still got good speeds. I beleive for torrents it just makes it quicker when you lose a connection in the circle till you pick up a new one. It works btter for older style P2P networks perhaps.
sorry about the missing link, the linked worked a month ago when i posted this, the page must have been cleared or moved. Also I would like to say that your being rude as I only posted this to try and help people, not piss off some kid who thinks he knows everything about the internet. I'd also like to correct the misconception that this patch doesn't work or makes your computer vunerable. I currently have had the patch for almost a year now and it works with both bitlord and azereus. Again, it works with all public p2p networks, the only place it might not have much effect is private servers that restrict bandwith. The purpose of the patch is to remove the download slot restrictions found in windows xp. It's purpose is not to facilitate faster connections or loose connections in the swarm or anything else. Set the patch to around 50 as it says in the tutorial section on the web[age. I would post a new link but I couldn't find it anymore. Look around in this forum for a newer link to the page or search on google. It is a windows xp sp 2 connection patch or download slot patch, something like that.
Oh and as for the last part of your post concerning the promotion of my webpage, if you read my post I didn't say anything about my music in it at all. The post was intended to help loosers like you that can't find the information on thier own. Your prolly still downloading at 2 to 10 kbs. Don't be a jackass, people don't need the same info over and over and over.

Your still posting about download and upload speed settings ? So what you do here in this forum is bash on peeps who don't understand basic computer information because it makes you feel like you know something important. Go to college and get a degree if you want to know something about computers (not everyone in here is 13 to 16 years old kid). This is at least the second time that I've seen you posting about down/up speed. Not to mention your attitude in your posts and demeaning comments.

Put aside the fact that your an ass for a second, this is just completly retarded. Your problem is not hardware if your experiencing slow downloads on a cable connection. The modem I use is an old rca that we've had since like 01 when we got our first high speed connection for our apartment. As long as the router or modem is not causing you a direct problem ie settings or connectivity - your fine.
I'm on a wirless home network split between three computers throug link sys routers. After patching, configuring my router for port fowarding, setting up azereus, and tweaking settings every now and then I get 70 to 200 kbs consistantly on normal torrents. Even on what would be considered bad torrents I still get 40 to 80 kbs.
SET YOUR UPLOAD SPEED TO 25 AND DOWNLOAD SPEED TO AROUND 80% MAX IE 150 TO 300. Dont post in this forum again about upload and download speed settings as this is the most irrelevant part of the process.

There's so many reasons why this is not a good idea. Think about this, double the trouble ? in both having to transfer files again, and now you have illegal files on two hard drives ?
hows it feel to be riddiculed by someone who knows a lil more than you do ?

Well if you are going to call me rude, then quote my whole post to show why - what you quoted makes me sound like an angel.
AS far as me saying in my original reply to your post that it seems like you just wanted to link your website you added as part of your post, I never saw you post anything before, then you come on and post with a what I consider a few inaccuracies in it (or it was a couple of unclear as to what is meant statements), plus the main gist, the a link you posted with major information was dead - so what am I to do but think when you link your website with your music on it?
And now a full 31 days later you return. That post was like 6 or 7 full pages ago.

Yeah, right.. I am the guy helping out here.. If you frequented here just a teeny tiny bit to help out yourself, you'd know this, but nope..
That might have ruffled my feathers, but it did not do so since I can see that you are such a light-hearted soul who just wanted to link his website so people would hear your music, so maybe you'd be discovered by some music mogul and finally be seen for the performing genius you are...
So maybe we'll see you in another 21 days?

Jeeez are you completely wrong with the above statement - maybe you have upload and download reversed in your brain..
Jigsaw-face, if you don't beleive 80% of upload speed and download speed just anything (as fast as you can), I am going to google "BitTorrent Faq" and pick the 1st page I see on the list.
Ok here is the 1st link put to me by Google:
http://dessent.net/btfaq/
Now do a search of text on this page if you don't want to read the whole thing (but YOU should, you really need the info) for "80%".. This is what comes up: "Use a client that allows limiting of the upload rate, and set it to around 80% of the maximum rate observed. It can be tempting to limit the rate to very small values. On very healthy torrents, this will not adversely affect the download rate. However, when there are fewer peers you will generally get higher download rates by allowing the highest upload rate possible before saturating the link -- the (approx.) 80% sweet spot"..
OK everyone else and their FAQs are wrong, and you are right I guess...
I urge you (or anyone) to Google, or use any search engine, for BitTorrent FAQs and look at them all.. A BitTornado linked from this forums touts 90% of your max upload rate, but I belive that to be wrong seeing many other FAQs..
Your 25 up will get good enough returns (download speed) OK, yes I know, 25 KB/s upload in the field will do well with very healthy torrents, but not as well with the not-so-healthy. ......But this is completely disregarding a guy that has a max upload rate less than 250 Kbps! --> What about the guy who has 180 Kbps max (20 KB/s)?? And you're saying for all, to always put 25 in there.. If he has 180 Kbps or 20 KB/s, and you say put 25 in there, that is 5 KB/s over his max,let alone minus the 20% or so needd for the torrent program to wrk in - his download will choke slower and slower once he reaches about 16 KB/s upload speed...
You have some kind of sideways Dyslexia or something similar.. Have your eyes checked out. and while you are at it, a brain-check is in order too.
Quote:
part of the problem is that you use dsl
How many times wrong? NO DSL here.. Cable.. about 400 Kbps up and 4000 down.. The numbers vary a bit because unlike DSL which has more stable speeds and where distance of the line to the sub-station counts as to your speed, with cable distance of the cable to the equipment doesn't matter, however you share bandwidth with others, so during busy times, like evenings, it's a bit slower.
I will not even look at the rest of what you just posted.. It isn't worth it, it is already apparent you have a god-complex combined with a loose screw..

1st thing, if you're Rogers is in Canada, this from someone's post a while back:
> u from Canada and using rogers high speed?.
> use port 1720, I do and I get great speeds.
Router - I don't know how to do it with your Linux set-up. With a normal router and in Windows, I log into my router with a link (a website address) as if it were really a website, and I use the menu, one menu element which says "port forward".
A software firewall for a Windows machine has an option to shut it off completely when linking it to certain programs, so I do it with the exe program that fires up BitTornado.
Anyway, I hope the info about Rogers helps..

Chaz, you are going to have to spell it all out what it is you are doing as related torrent software programs, like BitTorrent or BitTornado or Azureas or BitLord etc etc.
Login and password for what?

Sorry, I can't believe I was that vague. Guess I was in a hurry. :p
I use BitComet to download my torrents, but I only get about 4 KB/second even though I am on a cable connection. I followed the guide on this forum about opening the ports, but once I type in my IP address in my web browser I get asked for a username and password. I don't know what those are, so is there anyway to open these ports without it? I am in a dorm room and don't have access to that kind of information. Thanks!

Chaz, I still don't know what it is you are trying to log into - a router? Are you sharing the connection with others in the whole dorm system or dorm building, or only in your dorm room with roommates (home network)?
If you share, there is a central point, a "brain", called a "hub" in older days, but nowadays a "router" is used. All computers go into the router, then the router knows who sent what, and also who gets what coming into it, then delegates incoming to the proper recipient's computers. The router then will have one ethernet cable into the modem as if it was one computer.
It sounds to me like you are logging into the router and it wants an ID and a Password. That is how my router works. By default, the ID and password is usually something simple, like the password is "password". But then whoever is in charge of the router would probably change this. And every different brand of router will probably have a different default ID and password to start with too. You could try to find the brand and model number of your router and Google for a default ID and password, hoping it was never changed..
It might be difficult to open ports if you are on a large dorm network because they might not want anyone be file-sharers in peer to peer networks.. Even though a case can be made that it is not illegal to share files in peer to peer networks, but of course most of the time we all know that copyrighted files are shared without having the rights to do so..
If you cannot log into the router, you might want to try an experiment, and I have no idea if this will work and it probably won't, but if BitComet allows you to choose any ports to use (65000 of them) like BitTornado, try port 80 which I believe is commonly used by "stuff" and might be open (port forwarded). Google for other common ports used regularly by Internet programs..
Also besides the router, a hardware firewall, don't forget you have a software firewall too.

there is really something wrong with me. i am downloading bts but i am not getting any speed, 15 kb/s. that being said from reading all the other forums i know i need to open up ports 6881-6889, but therein lies the problem; i have no idea how! i dont even know what a router is but i know i have norton, which i think needs to be stopped. if you havent figured it out yet, i know nothing about computers, so please keep it as dummied up as possible. thank you so much for any efforts.

If it is just you, and your computer is wired right into the DSL modem, then you do not have a router.
A router is used for networks and the the brain of the network and distributes the proper info to the proper computer. I have a modest home network with 3 computers, all comunicate with my router. The router comunicates with the modem - it is a go-between, and you don't have that. I only pay for one Interent account to my Internet Service Provider, yet there are two people here who access the Internet, each withour own email addresses we use, info never gets sent to the wrong computer..
OK - 15 KB/s - what is your upload speed doing when you are getting 15 KB/s download?
Norton - Norton what? Anti-virus? Or Norton firewall? Norton Internet security? Well, with any, you might as well not mess with opening ports, but you need to find where to tell your Norton to not do it's thing when you are using your Torrent program.
I have Norton SystemWorks 2005, and in the anti-virus part, I had to go in there and find where to tell it to shut off for BitTornado, usually you follow a path back to the exe program that runs what you want it to "excude" wit when it runs and you click it into place (Nrton anti-virus 2005 and up actually acts like a firewall, which is a port blocker, to keep bad stuff out. It is same thing if you run the Windows XP's firewall, if you look in there you will see where it excludes, or let's say it ignores, Yahoo Messenger, for example.
You're going to have to poke around and find it, or look it up how to with a Google or two..

mrsheen03, without you posting up more information or letting us in on how torrent & computer/Internet savvy you are, that statement is way too vague to know where to start. But if you go to back a couple of forum pages to page 44 here
http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/44/89259
and count downwards about 7 posts from the top, there is a post by me (biggermac, Member, 22. January 2006 @ 05:20) where I re-re-re-posted a somewhat lengthy torrent general guidelines as part of the post.. Hopefully it will help you out.
