Ultima Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 http://www.slackware.com/torrents/Test a torrent from here... How quickly does it rum?You don't need to connect to more seeds/peers to get faster speeds. BitTorrent is often slower than HTTP because you're downloading from other people who may not have as high an upload rate as web servers may have, and yet, are still uploading to other peers besides yourself.

siemens_ef Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Have u opened the port?Go tu Run/cmd then type: ipconfig and u will se the default gateway, thats your modem IP. The next steps that depend on your kind of modem. Go to search and find out the way to open your port for upgrading the speed. My english is so bad so pls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
