figure_me Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Hey, I just downloaded Utorrent and i'm unfamiliar with how it works. I'm downloading a large file of 8gbs with speed less that 30kbps. I'm using a wireless connection but i'm right next to the router. any suggestions on ways to increase the speed of downloads?

FloatingRock Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 How many seeds and peers are available, and how many are you connecting to? Does it say Network OK in the status bar at the bottom? Are other torrents working like you would expect, (if you've used other clients)? I've had large torrents where I was glad to get 30 kB/s, regardless of which client I was using and knowing everything was set up correctly. It varies from torrent to torrent.On the topic, I wish that uTorrent had an Average Swarm Speed column so that it would be easier to tell how a torrent is doing, but I can get along without it. It's a pretty minor feature if you know your set up correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 FloatingRock: just look at the Peer dl column on the Peers tab.figure_me: cap your upload to 80% of your actual maximum, and make sure the status bar says Network OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
