matevzavbelj Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share 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 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevvi Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splintax Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
