i know about port forwarding, did it. i changed port to recomended. i know about NAT and all have a green light. i am DLing Crysis which has 5378 peers and 987 seeds. i can only connect to 114 peers and 16 seeds with an average DL rate of only 5- 10kbs. whil anoth DL that just started that has like 5 peers and 6 seeds just blew past it at 80kbs. WTF?!?!? someone help me. this is SOOO frustrating...
That seems pretty normal, Those 987 seeds are uploading to 5378 peers while on the other, 6 seeds are uploading to 5 peers. Always look to your seed to peer ratio plus how much you've completed could affect things, etc. Ensure you set an Upload speed around 80% of your maximum, run a speedtest at various times to get a good idea of what it is and keep kB (bytes) and kb (bits) seperate, 8 kb = 1kB.
