..vertigo.. Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 I tend to get between 10-25 kbps but it goes higher if I get lucky and connect to a seed/peer that uploads at a decent speed. My settings are as follows:Port = 50000Global Upload = 12kbpsGlobal Download = 0kbpsUpload Slots = 3Global Connections = 96Maximum peers per torrent = 96All additional features turned on.My connection is 4mb/128kb.My settings are what they should be for my connection, ie Global connections/80% upload etcI don't have any NAT errors. I have no software firewall running either. My router is a "XH7916 - DSE ADSL Router". I connect to a few seeds but mostly peers and they either don't upload at all to me or upload at around 3kbps max. My upload is usually maxed out. I have tried tried changing my port and disabling DHT but it didn't improve my speed at all. My ISP is Xtra. Any help would be greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Open the Speed Guide and use xx/128k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..vertigo.. Posted March 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 I've done that and my speed stayed the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 So, the port tester says it's forwarded? Protocol encryption is set to enabled?Define "additional features." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..vertigo.. Posted March 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Port tester says it's forwarded and encryption is enabled.By additional features I mean the section within the BitTorrent tab, i.e DHT etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 DHT should be turned off with such limited upload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..vertigo.. Posted March 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Ok, I've disabled DHT but my speed is still slow. Is it normal to be connected to 4 seeds, 48 peers but only have 3-5 people uploading to me? Only 2 are actually over 1.0kbps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 I should've asked the number of seeds and peers in the first place. It doesn't seem like a torrent that'll give you good speeds.http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/index.htmlIf you can get good speeds on this one, then it's just the torrent.

..vertigo.. Posted March 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 I tried the Slackware torrent and I was connected to a 3-4 seeds (that uploaded at more than 1kbps) and got 55kbps. If this torrent is bad then how are there getting good speeds? There's a few people getting 200-300kbps, and that's just from the few that I'm connected to.Edit: The seed/peers are: 1200 seeds - 5300 peers, so the ratio is pretty bad but I have the same problem with all of my torrents.

Firon Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 55k only? It should max out your download, assuming you have no other torrents running at the same time.It could be your ISP throttling BitTorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
