All this time I thought my Azureus was fine, but I don't think it is. All my ports are forwarded and opened (I'm using port 53000), all my faces are green and all my torrents are VERY popular. (100+ seeds, 1000+ leechers)
However.. I don't even break past 50kbs often... any suggestions? I have 3MBits Download and 256kb Upload and I use Rogers Cable. My download limit is set to 0kbs and my upload limit to 25kbs.
On net downloads I average around 350kbs.

.......100/1000 is not a good ratio for downloading. What about a Music torrent or at least try one that has more seeders than leechers? Alot of times its just the servers can only handle soo much. I noticed Filelist and Torrentbytes speeds have really come down alot lately....

yes the ratio of 100:1000 seeders and leechers are not good. meaning you need to upload more so you can download more. and your bottleneck here is your upload.
with torrents that have a lot of seeders you might get a better speed.
what you can do is call up Rpgers Cable and see if they can exchange the download bandwidth with your upload.
lets say 2.5Mb/s down and 768kb/s up.
or maybe even a 50:50 dl/ul :)

The speeds are fixed and I don't even want to alert them I'm using BT.. =D
Well the torrents I use are mainly from Pirate Bay and some from BoxTorrents, so I will try increasing my upload to 40 and see what happens.
P.S. All this time I've been helping people out I thought my BT was fine lmao

try IRC :)
try one of those torrents that have a lot of seeders and see what happen. if its still quite slow then there should be something wrong.
you could take a look at the overall download and see how's everyone doing, if most of them is like that then should be normal. those ups must be go somewhere.
is there such a thing as bit torrent leak ?
try this script and see if your port/NAT is open.

i have problems connecting to kickassanime.
and someone told me to bypass to a proxy server.
http://www.proxy4free.com/page1.html other than port 80 and transparent.
other advices ? be patient. try bittornado.

I used to use IRC a lot, but those damn queues. I prefer BT nowdays. I will open up the port 6969 just to see what happens.

Just occured to me there is no point of forwarding a tracker port if I do not serve files. It made no speed increase anyway.
I use 53000 UDP (checked option to use same port as TCP) to connect to trackers.
Either way I'm back to square one. Any suggestions?

might be a stupid quest but can you connect more then 100 seeds/peers ? more connections might give yaa more bandwith down

As of now, The Pirate Bay.
How can I connect to more seeders and leechers faster? At the moment I usually connect to 70%+ of the torrent's leechers and seeders.

I have tried elite torrents, uploaded for quite a while before the tracker messed up and turned my 2.31 upload rate into a BANNED. =(
They don't have too many game/movie torrents, mostly XXX etc. Of course I'm interested in XXX, but I've outgrown daily needs. =D

I know they do.. perhaps you misunderstood my post. =D I've been using them for over a year until their tracker messed up and destroyed my ratios.

No thankyou.. I think he has a couple viruses on it. =D
Well I think I've fixed my problem. Turns out The Pirate Bay is crap for speeds, and now I'm using TorrentBytes among other sites now and I'm getting very fast speeds.
