well... i opened the first website you gave me an said thank you for your advice but i nver said that i've already done it... i didn't want to do anything in the first place because whenever i'm doing something for the first time and alone i usually end up with failure so i didn't want to do anything.. i decided to let it be and wait for my brother to help me...if i were to damage something my mother would kill me...
i only got once a green light and it was right after i installed azureus vuze or something like that.. but it was only once and my download speed was good too around 120kb/s but with my later downloads on it i got only yellow smiles and the download speed was slow... anyway i installed it on another computer and on this comp. i got normal azureus i think...it's making me go crazy.. i was sooo happy that it was downloading so fast and now it's downloading 4kb/s or even slower and the upload speed is faster.... i swear that i'm going to unistall it after i finish download... oh and it's kind of weird.. everytime i click on 1 of the peers a java window opens up and then if i click ok or close azureus is not responding.. so i guess somethings wrong..
oh so you're a boy... hmm... misty?? it reminds me of a chacter from Pokemon.. are you are fan or were you?
thanks for the site but i'm downloading korean dramas..well.. one korean drama....and there is a site d-addicts.. but there are only torrents..:( there must be somewhere a site to direct download but i guess i'm too lazy to search for it..
edit: i forgot to ask something, if i've done all the things you told me to do to make it download faster, will there be any changes in the router, or just my program or my computer.. or the second computer...

When you port forward your router, the changes are within your router but you can make a note of them and change it back or reset your router and put it back to original settings. Not usual but it can happen; resetting my router causes the internet to have to be reinstalled. The static ip is on your computer and affects the way the router sees your address and some of the changes are in Azureus. Connecting directly to the modem, if you can, should fix things. Never seen Pokemon.

oh.. so it was a good choice not doing it.... thanks for explanation, and are you kidding me? you've never seen pokemon? they're very popular.. or they used to be... no they're still popular.. for small kids, anyway.. you've really never seen them?? hmm.... then i guess you're over 30 years old...even my cousin who's 29 years old have seen pokemon..
ok, i didn't want to doublepost so i edited this post again
---------------------
--------------------
i have a question, why is it that the file size is 701, but i'm downloading more than that? i'm downloading that 701 mb+ about 7 mb..
why am i downloading more than the actual filesize? us there a virus or is my program going crazy or something else happened?
-------------------
------------------
when i got to the folder where that file is it says that that file has 701 mb, but i downloaded more, what's going on?

There is no accelerator for bittorrent clients that does anything. Most contain spyware/adware.
Any bittorrent client needs to be cleared through your software firewall and router (if you have one) and then needs to have adjustments made within based upon the upload capacity of your internet connection.
What is the make and version of your software firewall?
If you have router, what is the make and model?
What version of BitTorrent are you using?

The 2wire probably does have a firewall.
You can check at Portforward.com uTorrent and Routers for your model.
When you click on your model you will be taken to a port forwarding guide for uTorrent.
Since the BitTorrent 6 series interface is identical to uTorrent's that will be your best guide.
It will show you how to forward your Bittorrent port through the router.
If you have Windows XP firewall going, you can go to Options>Preferences>Connection and tick the box to enable Add uTorrent to Windows Firewall exceptions and press OK.
Post back if you have any Qs.

@ clipsy
When you download a file you get it off peers and seeds. Sometimes some unecessary junk gets downloaded as well but its nothing to worry about. These are usually from ips on the banlist anyway.

What is the router model?
Are you using the XP firewall?
What port number did you use?

On the router, make sure that the Randomize port each time BitTorrent starts and Enable UPnP port mapping options in BitTorrent are disabled.
Separate rules should be made for TCP and UDP in the Vista firewall and the router.
What is your anti-virus software program? (make and version)
Do you have PeerGuardian or any similar IP blocker? (The BitTorrent/uTorrent sites are listed in the BISS blocklists).
You can try using Can You See Me just to make sure this is not an issue. Just enter your BitTorrent port and press Check and see if you get Error or Success.

hi all friends i'm in bit of sticky situation. i am an ethernet user( a cable user), i've been reading this forum for about a week and applying the solutions, but all in vein :(
my problem is that i'm recieving v.slow speed in my torrents(3,4 kb/s) and i'm using bitlord,i've also heard through this forum that u torrent is the best, i've also used that but it hangs so much that i can't even open it,so do the flashget,i've also used it.
i've also used asures but now it's tracker connecting takes about 15 to 20 min,i'm confused what kind of prob. it is.
i've also cheked my ports 6881-6891 from [https://grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2] and it is saying that these ports are closed but not "Stealth". also icon is always yellow whether i use azures r utorrent r bit tornado r any other .
i dnt know what router my lan administrator is using so i can't even change r allow my ports to router,
i've tried all my best last good was finding a sweet spot of upload at 19 kb/s, it hooked me from 3,4 kbs to 10 - 17 kb/s.
plz buddies, friends, help me out. it'll be great kindness from all of u. thnks.....

First, if you're behind a router, it probably has to be forwarded to see a green light. Don't use ports under 10,000 and not the default, ISP's can block them, believe Azureus recommends one over 47,000 somehing. One port is all you need for most, BitTornado uses a port range. Use a client that supports Protocol Encryption, only 3 do that I know of, Azureus, utorrent and BitComet but I wouldn't use BC, it's banned on some private sites, only because of a reporting issue, I think. Allow a client through any firewall you may use. Do a speed test and set your upload speed to 80%. Disable UPnP and post back any questions. Are you in school where you can't access the router?

In bit tornado go to prefs then change the port settings to 50505and 56066 should improve your download speed .
The Beatings will continue until moral improves

If you have the green, then messing with the port number won't accomplish anything. 34885 is an unassigned range, so you are fine with that.
What you can do to make your BitTorrent 6.0.3 faster is run a speed test and determine your average upload speed and make adjustments within BitTorrent based upon that average upload speed.
This is easy to do with the built in guide at Options>Speed Guide.
There is a link to a speed test on the Speed Guide screen.
You should stop all internet activity, including torrents, before taking the test.
You should take the test several times to get a reliable average.
Once you have an average upload speed, return to the Speed Guide and on the Connection Type pull down menu choose a speed that is close to yours.
This will automatically adjust your BitTorrent settings to their optimal for your speed.
You should also tick the Enable encryption box on the Speed Guide screen.
If you have any Qs, post back.

Those results have too much variation to be sure.
Try Speedtest.net and see what you get.
Make sure your torrents and other activity are stopped for a bit before taking the tests.
From what I read previously that ISP upload suppression is supposed to not mean anything, but just to make sure, who is your internet service provider?

It seems as though you are getting inaccurate results from the speed tests.
Those upload speeds are jumping all over the place.
What download speeds were you getting on torrents?
The speed test result is in kilobits (kbs) and BitTorrent shows speeds in kilobytes (kBs).
As 8kbs = 1kBs, that 313kbs = about 39kBs.
If you have a torrent that is actively seeding, it might be best to set BitTorrent's upload cap to unlimited and watch for 10 minutes and see where it settles in at.
I did not find anything on SBC being involved in bittorrent traffic shaping as of yet.

Aye chinky you should try using a different client like uTorrent, you should have to put your firewall down and if you did just add your client as an exception. Are you you using the site to port foward or just check?
