Rosicross Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 I have read and tried so many different settings from the site. There is a lot of great info on here and I have learned a lot. However I still have not been able to hit what I consider a good use of my bandwidth.I have a 10Mbit dl and 1Mbit up connection. My uploads speed can reach as much as 130kB/s although I usually keep it set lower when I dl. The problem I am having is the highest speed I have been able to achieve in dl is 200kB/s and that was on this link. OpenOffice.org v2.0.2 w/ JRE torrent. Otherwise it usually sits at 120kB/s. Is this normal for my bandwidth? I am pretty new to the Bit Torrent world but I bought this speed for the sole purpose of dl and ul torrents. Any help would be very appretiated.

Ultima Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 That's abnormal... what does the speed tester say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnmike Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Your connection speed can be faster than the torrent's speed. Also, advertised speed limits rarely apply to an internet connection.It's also possible that your ISP is capping you somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 The OpenOffice.org torrents are seeded by seeding boxes with very fat pipes. I reach 600KiB/s within 10 seconds, so that torrent is more than fast enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultima Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Yeah I know, but I'm just pointing that out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosicross Posted August 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 well the speed test says that I can reach 920kB/s, but when it comes to torrents and dl the most that I have gotten is still the 200kB/s. There was one break last week when I came in from the bathroom and it showed a peak at 260kB/s but that was a flash in the pan. Not sure how to tweek this to get it to more optimal settings.

Ultima Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Have you selected xx/1Mbit in the Speed Guide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosicross Posted August 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 I did that initially. Then once I saw the speeds that I was getting I came back here and made some mods. It is faster after the mods but still not where it needs to be. I am going to try 1/mb again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
