Ultima Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Do you have a green light in the status bar? Have you tried the test torrent in the guide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultima Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 *sigh* status bar? The thing at the bottom of the µTorrent window? And did you run the test torrent or not? If so, how did it run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyThriller Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Test torrent?there's run speed test and test if the port is working but where is test torrent?yeah the status is green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 - Select xx/512k on the Speed Guide, but lower your upload speed to something like 44- The test torrent is in that link I posted on my very first response in this thread. It's called Slackware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyThriller Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 also to mention i got 1.2 megabits as my speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 I got finished telling you in the last page that you select the upload speed -- the download speed does not figure into the configuration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyThriller Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 ok so by running slackware, it will make my connection faster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 =[The test torrent is in that link I posted on my very first response in this thread. It's called Slackware.A test torrent is just that -- a torrent to test your speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyThriller Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 so what do i get to know and helps me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Okie dokie, here are my assumptions here: - You correctly set the Speed Guide to xx/512k- You have a green light in µTorrent's status bar that looks like this: Now, run the Slackware torrent, and tell my how fast it downloads.

LadyThriller Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 WOW!Slackware is doing in the high 100's it's 123 kb/s right now but the other torrent i'm downloading has 26 (2424) peers and 22 (1492) seeders and it's down speed is only 9.5.WTF? Slackware has less people and it's doing faster, now what?and my status bar doesn't look like that (it doesn't have a check) it's more like the logo of utorrent and i have 1.6 version.

Ultima Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Number of seeds and peers don't mean anything. You were able to hit your *approximate* maximum speed, so that means everything is A-OK.When I say status bar, (once again) it's at the bottom of the µTorrent window, not system tray icon. If you don't see anything at the bottom of the µTorrent window, press F6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyThriller Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Yes it says "Network is OK, it's working like it should".but why is my other torrent going so slow when the other one is going fast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Because some torrents are just slow. The Slackware torrent is fast because it has fast seeders sitting on very fast pipes, and these seeders are ALWAYS on. Normally, torrents are not like this, so you'll normally get slow speeds. BitTorrent does NOT guarantee speeds in any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyThriller Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Ok so now should I wait for Slackware to finish and load it or can I delete it now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 You can delete it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyThriller Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Ok but with Bittornado it was like really fast and used to finish within 2 hrs.Isn't Utorrent supposed to be better and faster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Again, it varies from torrent to torrent. µTorrent can be, and IS, at least as fast as BitTornado if everything is set up correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyThriller Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Well I don't think mine is set up correctly because the torrent can be faster, how do I set it up correctly then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 ...... You have it set up correctly. I told you this TWICE already -- it ALL depends on the torrent you're running now. Didn't I just explain why the Slackware torrent is so fast, and how NOT all torrents are like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
