jakop92 Posted March 20, 2005 CID Share Posted March 20, 2005 Bittorent hasn't shown me a nice speed ever! I use a speedstrem 5100 and a dlink 624 router. 1.5 mbps down/384kbps up (runs usually at 1.3 and 350up on a good website) But when i get to bittorent, i don't go over 20 usually ever. Right now im dowloading BROTHER IN ARMS with 3 seeds and 17 leechers in bittornado. I see people maxing out at over 150kBs and one guy at over 600kBs. I did all instructions i found on the internet Port fordwarded and port triggered just such as this guide tells me:http://www.portforward.com/dlink/di-624.htm Made my pc dmz......errr what else? I tried pretty much everything, i set bittornado to ports to its defaults and port fordwarded them in my router config. How come can't i get decent speeds? Help! Please! I would really be satisfied if i would get like 80-100kBs, if not 150kBs. Even if i max my upload out, which is around 38kBs i still get 10-20 kBs down while i can't surf anything.....

jbro713 Posted March 20, 2005 CID Share Posted March 20, 2005 Why not just use ARES P2P? It is by far the best out there for sharing files. I've tried them all, including torrents, and ARES is the best and the fastest. http://www.aresgalaxy.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakop92 Posted March 20, 2005 Author CID Share Posted March 20, 2005 Does it support bittorent? If not, im not interested.....Im just trying to get help with bt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disturbed Posted March 20, 2005 CID Share Posted March 20, 2005 i usually get 50-60kb/s on torrent downloads...i dont think its possible to get any faster when there is that little ppl sharing files - as far as i figured out, when using torrents you download usually around the same speed you upload at....my upload is limited at like 50-60kb/s which actually explains the slow torrent speeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbro713 Posted March 20, 2005 CID Share Posted March 20, 2005 No Ares does not support torrents, good luck tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakop92 Posted March 20, 2005 Author CID Share Posted March 20, 2005 Then why would i see people downloading at 300-600kBs when they prob upload less the 100?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disturbed Posted March 20, 2005 CID Share Posted March 20, 2005 i doubt ppl download at those speeds using torrents....never seen anything like that in my life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakop92 Posted March 20, 2005 Author CID Share Posted March 20, 2005 Why not? I was dling at 2 meg/sec when i was at a university on bittorent. Anyhow, these answers aren't helping me much. Anyone know any solutions or tweaks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disturbed Posted March 20, 2005 CID Share Posted March 20, 2005 jakop...maybe because ur university has 2mb upload just a tought there....but i honestly think that torrents work on how much upload power u have that much download you have - although i never thought about this before hehhe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peepnklown Posted March 20, 2005 CID Share Posted March 20, 2005 I would give it time, be patient. I am going to cover all my suggestions just in case. D-link router Advance, Applications, create a new entry, enable, name (bittorrent), trigger port 6881-6999, trigger type TCP, public port 6881-6999, public type TCP, apply. Sometimes, limiting your upload rate will increase your download rate. I would set it to around 80% of the maximum rate observed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peepnklown Posted March 20, 2005 CID Share Posted March 20, 2005 I know this may sound amateur but he might not know, (windows xp) has a built in firewall and if you have windows xp sp2 you might want to tweak it out and apply the p2p patch.

jakop92 Posted March 20, 2005 Author CID Share Posted March 20, 2005 Hmmmm p2p patch? Where could i get it at? Its prob the firewall and sp2 that DO limit me. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reno Posted March 21, 2005 CID Share Posted March 21, 2005 I can never seem to get over 100kb on bt either, I know some sites have that ratio thing so when you don't upload they will make it so your download is capped untill you gett to an even dl/upl ratio... this has happened to me on indietorrents.com and boxtorrents.com. Might be part of your problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onibus Posted March 21, 2005 CID Share Posted March 21, 2005 Change the port from 6881 to any random 4-digit number in BT. Some isp's have blocked certain ports because of the congestion BT causes on the internet. www.lvllord.de has a SP2 concurrent connection changer on his site. Download EvID4226Patch.exe when his site is back up and change the concurrent connection to 50-100. That'll help a bunch. By default, windows is limited to 10 concurrent connection to slow the spread of worms and stuff. However, it also limits the amt of connections you can make before it stops, hence crappy speeds on BT (can't connect to more than 10 people... and you're surfing the net).
