strawberryblast Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 I have a question how do you maximize a speed of a single torrent? I have 3 torrent thats downloading and the speed reaches to about 148kB/s in total. But when i download a single torrent its around 50kB/s. Is there any way to maximize the speed?

Ultima Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 No, not really. Torrents don't guarantee speeds. As such, you won't always be able to max your connection out with any single torrent. As long as you configure according to the setup guide, that's as good as your speeds are going to get.

Switeck Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Although it's possible to max out your download speed with just 1 torrent, it's often rate-limited by how fast you're uploading. If you're only uploading at 25 KB/sec, then getting 50 KB/sec download back is a pretty good deal on torrents with seeds barely equal to the number of peers.Most people don't have more than 25 KB/sec upload speed TOTAL, and they often run multiple torrents at once, and they often have upload slots set to 4 (or higher), ...many reduce their upload speed in their BitTorrent program lower than their max by far. That makes it hard if not impossible to max out a fast download max connection.I come from older file-sharing networks where maintaining 5 KB/sec download speed 24/7 was good. BitTorrent isn't neccessarily faster if very many people seek to max their download speeds at the expense of their upload speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
