matevzavbelj Posted December 4, 2005 Report Posted December 4, 2005 Ok i could say im new to torrents. I have a 1mbit adsl through my fathers company here at home (router,firewalled). When im downloading i usually get speeds like 10-30kbps (i already faced the fact that im behind a router and a firewall). Usually in the peer list the speeds are about 0.1-5kbps from specific peer. But every once in a while i check and the speeds are around 70-80kbps WOW - because there shows up a !peer! (only one ) that i download from with speed of 30-50kbps (plus all the lame 0.1-2kbps download speeds from other peers). So how is it possible?? specs: seeds:11(34) peers:59(280) ; NAT error (my father cant forward this port because of some reasons i dont know)max upload speed: 20kbpsglobal max connections: 200max conn of peers per torrent:110num of upload slots:11 upnp: disabled (im on Win2000)i havent changed any of the advanced settings!thnxps:i searched but i didnt find an answer to this.
ColdArmor Posted December 5, 2005 Report Posted December 5, 2005 peers will only upload at a low rate because they are connected to so many people, like if you have a cap at 12kB/s, and are connected, then each peer could only get 1kB/s each or less.
Leech_Hunter Posted December 5, 2005 Report Posted December 5, 2005 Using a public tracker? If so , that sounds pretty normal...one decent peer (who doesn't cap his upstream) amongst the many mean,greedy, leeching little FT's.
stevvi Posted December 5, 2005 Report Posted December 5, 2005 I think Leech_Hunter is being a little unfair. Some folks have wonderful and fast net connections whereas most of us are stuck in the real world of British Telecom/<insert local telco>. Just feel lucky when you connect to quick one
splintax Posted December 5, 2005 Report Posted December 5, 2005 If so , that sounds pretty normal...one decent peer (who doesn't cap his upstream)I think you'll find people with the capability to upload at > 50KiB/s to multiple peers pretty rare... I personally have a fairly decent connection into my home and can only upload to two peers that fast...More likely someone with a seeding box jumped on the torrent; he's probably on a private tracker.
ColdArmor Posted December 6, 2005 Report Posted December 6, 2005 most people have a max upload 30kB/s - 100kB/s and that split many ways it is hard to get a good speed, it's just how BT works.
