KRyPTyK Posted February 26, 2006 CID Share Posted February 26, 2006 I am having a serious problem with BitTorrent. 3 weeks it was running fine, blazing fast, but my GF bought a new computer last week and now it is slow as hell. I have tried using BitComet and Azureus as well as a couple of others, yet I cannot get my DL speeds above 10kB/s. Everything is configured properly. All NAT settings are good with the proper ports forwarded, my firewall allows all clients full access, and yet it still continues to suck. I have Charter high speed basic 3MB package. When I have to download updates or trial programs from websites it consistently hits 200kB/s. It always runs at near rated speeds with the exception of BitTorrent. Is there something that I am missing b/c this is really starting to annoy me and is really making me consider going back to using Kazaa or Limewire. Any help would be appreciated. KRyPTyK :::..

Swimmer Posted February 26, 2006 CID Share Posted February 26, 2006 I know that some of the bittorrent servers have been under attack in the past few weeks.. What do the seeds/peers look like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peepnklown Posted February 27, 2006 CID Share Posted February 27, 2006 First, which ports did you forward? Second, as asked above, how many seeds/peers? Third, which BitTorrent client are you using now? I would never go back to Kazaa, trust me on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRyPTyK Posted February 27, 2006 Author CID Share Posted February 27, 2006 I am currently using Azurues as it has given me the best results. At this point, Azureus is basically the best turd in a pile of sh*t. Looking at it right now, I am connected to 72 seeds and 36 peers. Current speed is 5.6kB/s and 9.1kB/s upload. I am forwarding port 51666; just a randomly selected port since using the default, which I believe was 6881, was continuously generating a NAT error even after port forwarding. I just cannot seem to get any BitTorrent client to generate reasonable speeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peepnklown Posted February 27, 2006 CID Share Posted February 27, 2006 BT GUIDE I have seen a lot of guides and this one is right on the money. I use uTorrent and it works extremely well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shug7272 Posted February 27, 2006 CID Share Posted February 27, 2006 Did you change the ports used from the default ports used by BT. Some isp's will throttle back the bandwidth used for BT. Try not using the default and changing the ports used to a much higher number like 40000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
