jewelisheaven Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Have you gone through the Setup Guide (Guides page, link #3)? You need to run a speed test to see what kind of speeds you can expect. Then set the drop-down to your UPLOAD speed, and test with the OpenOffice or Slackware torrent mentioned. Please include steps you've tried when you reply below Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTF215 Posted January 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Ok my speedtest result are as Download 523 Kb/s and the Upload 219 Kb/s, and I cant get the Openoffice download to work. So what do you sugest I do now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Hmm, download converts to 64KiBps (58 KiBps sustained average), and 32KiBps (25-28 KiBps sustained).What error message does the OpenOffice torrent spit out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTF215 Posted January 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Ok i got the Open office to download, my speeds are still the same but when I downloaded the Openoffice I got like 100 kB/s for that file... why so fast for that DL and not my others?

jewelisheaven Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Because the other peers don't have that much available to upload :/ You can't do much other than make sure you're connecting/seeding to enough of the other peers so you'll get reciprocity when it comes time.

Switeck Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 OpenOffice is a very seed-heavy torrent...and EXTREMELY fast seeds at that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 GTF215,OpenOffice is just free "productivity" software...what it is...isn't why we want you to download it. The torrent is just an excellent test of connection download speeds, as it's seeded by some of the fastest internet connections on the planet probably. You have ANY problems downloading that, it's either SERIOUS networking hardware and/or software problems...or your ISP is crap.lysheena,We need more information about your internet connection.uTorrent must be customized to match the connection OR SPEEDS WILL SUCK.

Switeck Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 We're hard pressed to help you if you don't supply the additional information that message thread asks for.You may be firewalled by more than just your router. Fixing just your router by port forwarding won't be enough if that's the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
