Alterno Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 I'm getting slow download speed from the last 2 beta version including (build 2157). What's going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 *shrug* It's working the same as usual for me. I'm still able to hit my connection's maximum (around 1 MiB/s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Alterno,Maybe it's your ISP throttling you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alterno Posted June 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 nope, I just downloaded bitcomet till this gets fixed. I'm downloading fine with BC, i'll wait for the next beta update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 It's probably your ISP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honeyfrog Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 If that's the case, it begs a question: What's his BitComet doing to evade ISP-throttling that uTorrent could also be doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 UDP NAT traversal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 On top of the UDP NAT traversal, BitComet has its own OLDER proprietary encryption method which it often uses with other BitComet clients. It's been cracked and can be spotted by ISPs, but not cheaply apparently...or it's just too "rare" to rate their trouble to configure their throttlers for it.For whatever the reason, that often works when next-to-nothing else does.µTorrent would probably benefit from UDP NAT traversal, but it won't come without quite a few teething issues. I was a beta-tester for BearShare way back when it got it, and we were seriously wondering for about 6 months if it was even going to be of any value at all!After that, it opened up all the firewalled sources to firewalled downloaders, and things looked up for awhile. Then MPAA/RIAA shut down BearShare (FreePeers INC, actually was the company shut down)...which was re-branded and re-released in one of the most spyware-infested pieces of crap ever.

Honeyfrog Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 How well along is uTorrent in adopting similar schemes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 µTorrent cannot copy BitComet's older proprietary encryption method for the same reason that ISPs don't detect it. BitComet won't reveal the exact details for it to anyone.UDP NAT traversal was worked on by Ludde for awhile back around v1.5 to v1.6 -- but never put into µTorrent because using UDP packets probably proved disastrous and unpredictable on the very routers (D-Link and Belkin!) that needed it.

Alterno Posted June 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 Well, I'm just getting problem with the last 2 beta builds(2539 and 2517), the rest are working fine, too. But I'm hell tired of the dam update pop up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
