lavinder Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 If i'm downloading an 8GB file how long does it take for my speeds to go up and stay at a balanced less jumpy speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-$$$$$- Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 if you're on a private tracker, your speed could go at full speed and stabilize at that in about 1-2 minutesespecially if the seeds are more than the peers.but it all depends on the seeds/peer upload.but in general it takes about 1 or 2 minutes to fully stabilize at max speed start-to-finishespecially on Private trackers.i have downloaded 350mb (Lost Episode) at my max speed of 110kb/s start to finish.the torrent took exactly 57 minutes. (i can download 700mb in 2 hours). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nefarious Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 totally could happen, lot episodes are rather popular so speed is there, however depending of the content u have it may be not so great, how many seeds and peers do u have in that 8GB torrent?

Nefarious Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 well then, since u have just started it and have not enought pieces to start sharing u just need to wait a little, also be sure u follow the speed guide, and u could also try patching the tcpip.sys file raising the half-open connections and doing so as well in the utorrent's advanced options to at least halp of what u set in the tcpip.sys, also... dunno try enabling protocol encryption, but then again it could be just an slow torrent, you may just need to wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavinder Posted July 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 I tried a new torrent and i'm getting average 42 Still low, but i'm ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 If you're getting more than you're uploading in return, you're doing pretty good....that also means someone else isn't.(They may just be seeding instead of seeing poor download speeds in return.)

lavinder Posted July 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 How much does 'availability' count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-$$$$$- Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 your whole problem is not exactly your connection or uTorrent, the real problem is perhaps the torrent you'redownloading have people sharing at 3kb/s rather than their max of perhaps 20kb or more (this is why Private trackers are fast). in pubblic trackers even a well seeded torrent could end up sloooooow as hell.happends to me too. you must be patient. otherwise join a private tracker but beware you must keep yourRatio in check. you cannot download 1GB and upload 10MB you'll get banned.you're choice.
