sirpimps Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 So i just changed torrent programs because demonoid does not support bitcomet. I was downloading 300 and the speed for it is at around 15 kb/s on utorrent. I am also downloading shooter (which has more seeders) at around 90 kb/s. But on bitcomet 300 is 70 kb/s and shooter is 300 kb/s. Why is utorrent so slow. I have my port forwarded. I even changed my utorrent port to the bitcomet port and it is still slow. What could be the problem????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipstream Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 sirpimps,Do you have the option Preferences > BitTorrent > Protocol Encryption / Outgoing in the Disabled state? Switch it to "Enabled".Most probably Bitcomet had the similar option enabled by default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funchords Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 So i just changed torrent programs because demonoid does not support bitcomet.Yeah it does, what are you talking about?But on bitcomet 300 is 70 kb/s and shooter is 300 kb/s. Why is utorrent so slow.Every time you stop and start a torrent, it takes the BitTorrent protocol some time to connect and find the best reciprocating peers (up to 30 seconds per peer in your peer list, 60 peers <= 30 minutes). Don't judge uTorrent's speed based on a 2-3 minute test. Let it run for quite a while before doing a comparison.Preferences > BitTorrent > Protocol Encryption / Outgoing ...Most probably Bitcomet had the similar option enabled by default.It is enabled by default in BitComet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipstream Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 funchords,Why do you say it does if http://www.demonoid.com/faq.php says it doesn't? Please do not use BitComet, BitLord and its derivatives. They cause your ratio to be misreported, and cause transfer troubles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funchords Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Shall I point you to some FAQs that say that uTorrent 1.7x reports your IP address to the MPAA? Demonoid's tracker works just fine with BitComet. I use both all the time. No problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipstream Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 funchords,Hehe I know where are those FAQs But - those trackers not just warn user in the FAQ but indeed do ban utorrent. Nice that demonoid didn't go that far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funchords Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Tell people that if their IP address is longer than 10 digits, that they're losing bandwidth because their header is too big -- and they'll believe it. It's time we start demanding proof before we repeat stuff as FAQts. (nice pun, eh?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 sirpimps is probably using Rogers Cable ISP in Canada.That particular ISP may have no problems throttling µTorrent's speeds using traffic shapers, but BitComet's old encryption scheme (which only works with other BitComet clients) may somehow slip by...for now!

nos_slived Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Does BitComet report speeds in kb/s or kB/s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirpimps Posted August 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 I ran 300 for 3 hours and its average speed is 12.3 kb/s and shooter's average is 35.1 kb/s. On bitcomet these would have been 5 x the speed here. I also had my encrytion on enabled. Than i put it on forced. All my settings are the same as bitcomet. Everything has been forwarded it put it still slow. Is there a tool or something that can tell me if i forwarded my ports right???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robincheema Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 I read some where that bitcomet cheats as it makes u seed less and get faster speeds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirpimps Posted August 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 When I use bitcomet I hardly seed (3-5 kb/s) but i get great download speed. When I use utorrent I get slow download speed but I seed at 10-30 kb/s. Is there a way i can download with bitcomet and seed with utorrent.

Switeck Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 I'd expect µTorrent to at least download 2 times faster than you're uploading.But with ROGERS CABLE ISP, you just about have to use xx/256k setting in Speed Guide (CTRL+G) because they throttle BitTorrent uploading so hard.
