mutorrent eating up system bandwidth while using little


gold

Recommended Posts

Ok this is a fresh install of Windows XP. 3.2 mbit ADSL line. Azureus downloads at upto 340 kbps.

Problem with mutorrent 1.2 is that now I have a few torrents downloading at a total of 70kbps (one at 25 kbps the rest slower). Ok so that may be the max possible using the peers it has found.

THE PROBLEM IS THIS:

The bandwith of my ADSL line has dropped to near zero.

If I open Internet Explorer, it takes 10 seconds just to bring up google.com.

Surfing the net is almost impossible, downloading a file I see 2kb/s or thereabouts.

Closing down mutorrent solves the problem.

I don't understand, mutorrent was downloading with a total of 70kbps.

I should have 170kbps left.

Not 2.

Any ideas? I din't have this problem with azureus. (lol even when it was going at 340 kbps.)

And I also tried with these settings:

EDIT:

I just installed Bitcomet.

The torrent (238 seeds/336peers) that I had been downloading at 25KB/s for the past 5 hours with mutorrent, I tried to download in Bitcomet.

Withing 30 seconds it was downloading the exact same torrent at 49 KB/s and increasing.

Why oh why.

I would much rather have used mutorrent. But why does it download so slowly?

I am looking at another torrent (411seeds 4364 peers) that is downloading at 40 kB/s, while bitcomet downloads it at 300+.

Why?
