vistavictim Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 If you use cable with a cable modem will this affect your d/l speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 If you have a good enough software firewall that doesn't block µTorrent's in and out traffic, yes you should get good speeds...possibly even slightly better than with a router, due to many routers not handling 100+ connections at once without minor slowdowns. (By 'minor slowdowns' I mean either increased ms/latency or they start crashing/dropping connections.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vistavictim Posted August 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 seems to work farely well, but the speeds suck on more popular/larger torrents. is there any reason for this? Ive tried everything to remedy that but just seems im stuck with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 On really large torrents, people are generally unwilling to upload as much as they've downloaded...unless "forced" because they're downloading slower than they're uploading. So the end result on large torrents tends to be download and upload speeds are about equal...barring LOTS of seeds remaining for days on end.
