Don't know if anyone can help? I've tried EVERYTHING! I don't have a router, I have a modem so no ports to forward, or is there? I've done the online NAT test and it says I am connecting, ports are forwarded ok. I've opened up the port of Azereus in my firewall. When I start, after a while, it checks the Scrape (what ever that means) then the faces turn green. Download ranges from 30 to 40 kbs but only for a min and then starts to drop fairly quickly, back to 0. Then the faces turn grey and the process starts all over :(.
Anyone know what the hell is going on?
Speeds used to be fine. I joined a few private torrent sites and thats when they started to drop, weren't they supposed to go up?
I can download from mIRC at speeds of 250 kbs and up.
My upload speed is good, it usually maxs out at whatever I set it too.
What should my settings be for everything in Azereus exactly? Should I be using another client?
Would really appreciate any help possible.
Thanks,

I am not so sure finding another torrent will do. I have the same problem and noticed that i have to find the optimum balence between up and down to get consistent speeds, albiet they are pretty damn slow. the best i can get here is 8kup/4kdown across 5 torrents trying to download episodes of Lost, the tv series. i have been monitoring the advanced stats plugin for days and notice that at 9am everything goes to zero and then max 2kdown, but the individual torrents are downloading at just a few bits/second (1 to a few hundred). something with my isp perhaps, but they claim all is well at their end. Torrent downloading seems pretty fustrating for a lot of folks. I've tried all the clients, and Azureus seems the best, at least it has the most settings :). I wish i understood them all but i am learning. i have one torrent that has a hard time staying with a tracker (blue face off and on). but i don't know how that effects performance, there is always a swarm, peers, blabla, there but the download speeds there are pathetic. good luck,keep posting, maybe something will dawn on somebody...

anyone know why i get these errors with a torrent (the one listed above in previous posts)?!?
Tracker URL : http://tracker2.torrentbox.com:2710/announce
Tracker Status : Connection Error (NoRouteToHostException:No route to host: connect)
then azuresus checks again and finds something, then back to this...

here is a question for an Azureus expert. please look at this graph snapped from the advanced stats plugin:
and tell me if the settings used on the left are better then the settings using on the left, ignore the spike. i had a 8/4 ratio set on the left and an unlimited/5 ratio on the right. it seems this is the best i can get with my small pipe. if i go 8down/4up the down is limited but consistent. if i do anything else the download speed is spiking all over, albiet sometimes higher. or is all the same? thanks!!!

pretty amazing u can get to such support! I don't have a clue about which router u are using but you have to enter in the following on my dlink:
Name: just the name of the setting
Private IP: your ip address for your machine
Protocol Type TCP UDP Both (choose both)
Private Port (the port u want to give azureus)
Public Port (the port u want to give azureus)
good luck!

they are going slow because you have shaw or rogers or a ISP that blocks all of the fast downloading ports for azerus

hi there,
i've followed all the instructions here with my new linksys wireless router but to no avail. i got d/l speeds of about 70kbs for about 15 minutes and then all my d/l's are back between 2 and 12 kbs and they aren't moving.
i even did all the testing of my ports and went to www.portforward and followed there instructions on configuring my router with bitlord but still nothing.
besides what camdog has stated at the beggining of this thread and other throughout the whole topic, is there another guide to follow through to see if somthing was missed ?
or maybe i'm just doomed to not have fast d/l's ?
unsure but would appreciate your thoughts or help !
mb.
ps my windows and norton firewalls are turned off
and i'm on shaw cable and anything else you need to know i'll be waiting ! thanks !
