dagansandler Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Hello!I have been trying to download several torrents and the speed is usually OK, but I encounter a severe problem which holds them back from completing downloads. It can happen on any percentage (not just the last two or three, even on 34%).I have noticed that I have received about 600MB for a certain torrent, but only 80MB were actually completed.This is really horrible...I am using a windows XP PC, have two computers on my network (the one with utorrent is on wireless connection) and a D-Link DI-614+ router.can anyone help?By the way, I have read some faqs, and checked the DMZ mode on my router. it seems to be disabled.thanx,Dagan.

Ultima Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Does this happen with the OpenOffice.org torrents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultima Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 ... Just pick a torrent from there and test how fast it runs in µTorrent. We use it for benchmarking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagansandler Posted February 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 well...I have tried downloading on both my computers.the good one has went up to 90KB/S (full speed), the other one doesn't go up more than 60-70 for some reason(maybe the wireless connection?) but both of them seem to be downloading without any hashfails so far.

Ultima Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Then you're probably downloading from a poisoned/fake swarm. Grab your torrents from somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagansandler Posted February 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 I see...thanx!is there any way of knowing if a swarm is good before starting to download the torrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 If you never seem to connect to a seed, despite reports of lots of seeds by the tracker...that's immediate cause for alarm.If even when you connect to 20+ peers, your availability is still below 1.0, then there's likely a problem. With 20+ peers at ~50% each, either the torrent is very new or the availability should be well above 1.0 -- maybe even 10+! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
