No offense at all to you mistycat, but neither of those will work if the isp is truly throttling bittorrent. Your only options are tunneling or using a VPN.

My first guess (which is usally right lol) is that you are using some random public tracker with a trillion leechers and 5 seeders. Am I right? If not, post a speed test result. Here is a pretty reliable link http://speedtest.net/index.php

Thats is your problem then. If you have a green light in your client, then you are open to the world....now you just need people to share. I suspect the typical public torrent user caps their upload speed to 5ish kbps, so rest assured it isnt anything wrong on your part, rather the source is the problem.

No, a port over 10,000 that isn't the default and over 50,000 for Azureus.

I'm on Comcast cable, use bittorrent, and I'm downloading at 480kB/s after previously maxing out at the 30-40s range. I downloaded an Axxo movie in 30 minutes. Is this normal?? I haven't even opened up the port on my router.
After my previous speeds I think this is too good to be true and wonder if it'll last.

Way too little information to even try to help you. To compare, I have a 16 mbit connection which equals 2000KB/s downstream....and no it is not to good to be true. Your connection is very average honestly (about 4 mbit), forward ports and you will achieve higher speeds.

Sup ppl, i to am behind the great wall of comcast , with their 8mbps line here in New England , I ve been tweaking Bitcomet and broke the 500 KBps download per torrent barrier. today an overly popular cam was downloading well over 600 KBs which give me a total of just a tick under 1000KBs.
Well it probably did hit the 1000Kbs but i wasnt watching it. Anyway here are some of my number from NE's Comcast pipe.
Download Speed: 24432 kbps (3054KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 55 kbps (6.9 KB/sec transfer rate)
Last Result:
Download Speed: 31886 kbps (3985.8KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 1794 kbps (224.3 KB/sec transfer rate)
Last Result:
Download Speed: 30660 kbps (3832.5KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 1778 kbps (222.3 KB/sec transfer rate)
Last Result:
Download Speed: 31084 kbps (3885.5KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 1752 kbps (219 KB/sec transfer rate)
well That's All Folks ,sorry if your connection suxs , call your congress men or move to a better city.

I'm sure this has been echoed several times in here but I will tell you without any reservation that 90% of the download speed issues are due to where you are getting your file. If you are on a public tracker your speed will be terrible. You need to get access to a private tracker. I went from between 2 to 5 kb/s to 1mb/s. No changes to any settings.
So before posting or reading any other suggestions...try to get a membership from a private tracker.
Lates!

Just direct Azureus to the same download folder. Low speeds can have many causes, router not forwarded, low seed to peer ratio, amount of connections, ISP throttling: http://www.azureuswiki.com/index.php/Bad_ISPs amount you have downloaded related to peers you are connected to. etc. Set your upload speed to 80%, 232 kb (bits) comes to 29 kB (bytes), take 80% of that.

Hey all,
I see that this forum is very big and i have tried to read through as much as i can but i still have a question. I have got Bittorrent and am constantly getting speeds of only ~5kb/s i should be going at over 50 i think but there is a green light so everything seems ok. What do i do? I am downloading a 20GB file and am well on my way although in future i want to know how to increase speeds?
Thanks.

LOL , 20gs , Time and lots of it , i can tell you unless its really really popular is going to take awhile no matter what you do. People on private trackers ain't really going to mess with something that big. And public tracks ain't keeping ratios. >;P GOOD LUCK

I get 500+ downloads all the time using Bitlord and a 10mbps cable modem. You guys must me using the wrong shit. Also keep in mind that it doesn't really matter how fast you can download if you don't have enough seeders with a fast upload rate.

dragooon,
i don't know if i can really help you, but all i can tell you is that you have to FIND A WAY TO CONFIGURE YOUR FIREWALL such that it allows incoming connections by OPENING YOUR PORTS. So find your firewall settings and look for options like "PORT FORWARDING" or "SHARING" or anything along those lines. bittorrent uses these ports: 6881 to 6999.
if you still don't know and got time to do some reading, i suggest you (or anyone looking to configure their firewall) go to this page:
http://btfaq.com/serve/cache/24.html
if you just wanna check if ur ports are open go here:
https://grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2
-click on "Proceed"
-on the blue box there that says "ShieldsUp!! Services"
type a port range like: 6881-6889. then click on "User Specified Custom Port Probe".
-scroll down to the Port Table there, if the STATUS column say "CLOSED" or "OPEN" then you are good to go. if it it says "STEALTH", you need to configure your firewall.
hope this helps.
hey now it's a VERY OLD thread but i just looked it up on google so anyways how do you configure it?
