I am using a macbook pro w/ leopard and tomato torrent. I was just wondering if anyone knows how to make downloads go faster because i'm getting incredibly slow speeds.

lol, there are a ton of factors that influence the speed. But largely being the number of seeds. DO you have any program that filters incoming traffic like peerguardian? is it your network, or a public wifi where limits might be placed?

Other than that, there really isn't much you can do besides hoping more people upload. Only thin is try to update trackers to see if you can get more connections.

Hallo Tg :

can you be more specific
what are your best download speeds?
upload speeds ?
who is your internet provider ?
have you used other torrent clients? i.e. transmission or Azureus ?

example - Azureus 2.5.0.4 - early 2007 version - I have best seen downloads of over 1 mb , best upload is 120 kbs

cheers:

There are two things you can do to speed up any bittorrent client.
One is to forward the port for the client through any firewall or router, by setting exceptions in them for the program or its port.
The other is to cap upload in the bittorrent client at 80% of your internet connection's upload rate. Setting upload higher than that, or to unlimited, will slow downloads as needed communications will not be able to get through.
