Binkx Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 When I am d'loading a file under 100mb it down loads at 100+kbs, but when i try a file 4+gb it only d'loads at under 20kbs? I have forwarded the port etc. and have the green tick. I have cable and up to 2mb.Also when downloading under 100mb file, surfing the net is normal, but when downloading a larger file (4+gb) surfing the net is really slow.

Ultima Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 What does the Speed Guide show your settings to be, and what is your connection's maximum upload rate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultima Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Belkins are known to get crushed under too many connections. Try lowering the global maximum number of connections to... 60 or thereabouts, and per-torrent connections to maybe 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy1491 Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 try running the speed test a few times. get a nice median number and calculate the values you state like this:Maximum upload speedupload speed *0.80 Maximum download speeddownload speed *0.90 Maximum connected peers per torrentupload speed * 1.3Maximum upload slots1 + (upload speed / 6)remember be concise and tweak your settings until you get what you want. i myself havent done any port forwarding and iam getting speeds around 150 KB/s on a RR wifi connection. not a bad deal. good luck.
