Download speed problem

[stormxiii]

Hello .

I'm having the problem of a low downloading speed , while my upload speed is at maximum.

For example; I use a torrent and I'm uploading at 25kbytes or more, and my download speed does not improve more than 25 kbytes. Upload/download limits are 0 .

My ADSL connection is 16mbps.

Windows XP SP2 Media Center Edition, 1.7.5. utorrent edition. I have done port forwarding and of course a static IP setting to stabilize it.

Can u help me =( please

thank you

PS:I don't use a firewall,just my router.

The problem is not the seeds, I have tried with some more popular torrents that have many seeds and the maximum download speed is 25kbytes per second , when my maximum possible download rate from e.g. nvidia is 1200kbytes per second.

What do torrents from http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/ give you? (specifically 2.3.1 windows english)

500kbytes +

how is that possible !

So is it about the seeds then ?

[DreadWingKnight]

It's more about the conditions of the swarm than the seeds.

In fact, it's possible to get better speeds on a 0-seed torrent than you get on 5k seed torrents.

Just thought I'd tag onto this thread because it's very similar to my problem, thing is I don't know what I'm supposed to do on the link you provided..

thanks

Select the version (2.3.1), your platform and language. If javaScript is enabled in your browser, the torrent will pop up. Open it in uTorrent and download away, then report back here.
