Im on Cox Communications HIGH SPEED INTERNET - however Im using bitcomet - ive tried others to see if they improved - no luck.
Ive Been downloading somthing off on bitcomet for 2 days now (the file is 5.60GB) with 30 Leechers and 20 Seeders - and my files are being downloaded so slow about 40kb down and 60 up / Any Tip to make the download faster?
ive tried a few tips on here with no luck. Im behind a router - firewall is off as well.
The Router im using is a LINKSY WRK54G
Any Tips or Thoughts to improve would be helpful. Thanks.
If you are experiencing issues with your torrent speeds, please read on.
If you are using a router, please ensure that you have configured it to play nice with your BT d/l & u/l speeds, here are some
great guides on how to open and forward ports on your router:
*Step 1*
Router Configuration Guides
Slow Bit Torrent downloads? Router configuration tips (By CamDog):
If you have a firewall installed, you must allow your BT client full access to the network via <Inset firewalls name here>,
how to do this depends on what firewall you are using, information on how to do this is likely to be found on the manufacturers forums:
Windows firewall has no outband protection, meaning a full software firewall will prove much more effective.
*Step 3*
Download well seeded torrents, seed's are people who have the full file and are distributing, leech's/peers are people who are
aquiring the file, the more leech's the slower the speed as the seed can only upload xxxyyyzzz amount at one time, the greater
the upload & download speed of the seed the faster data can be transfered, a torrent with 100 seeds and 500 peers will go
very slow, as there are more people trying to download the file than share it, meaning less data can be uploaded to the peers
as theer is more to share it with.
A torrent with 100 seeds and 10 leechs will go very fast! as the seed can upload more to xxyyzz person as there is less
people to share it with.
Please tell us the amount of seed's and leech's on the torrent!
*Step 4*
If you have Windows ServicePack 2 installed, you'll need this:
Windows will prompt you with a pop up telling you system files are being altered, ignore this, click cancel, also your Anti Virus may alert you telling you this
patch is a virus, its not! so ignore that too :-)
*Step 5*
If there still slow, its possible your ISP is capping your BT download & upload speeds, you need to call them and ask them how they feel about
"Peer to Peer file sharing programs" and wether they have placed any caps, it may be worth you checking out this guide if so:
