Akronica Posted September 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Not sure, what you want me to do, get rid of XP and install Linux slackware? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Sorry, heh. Try downloading the torrent... does the tracker show an error or the peers don't connect? You can also test with the openoffice http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/ torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akronica Posted September 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Trackers are working fine, one tracker actuallytracker2.transamrit.net17(61) seeds and 2(4) peers, speed 116 kb/swhy am I not getting same speeds with movies from mininova thoughThanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Mininova is an indexer. It doesn't track torrents.If the openoffice torrent tests at your expected speed the problem is your selected torrent. Run fewer torrents simultaneously, or stop that torrent, or lower it in your queue ... so you can get other stuff faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akronica Posted September 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Yeah I did that but unfortunately all Torrents that are in my queue are slow, they download at max 10 kb/s with seeds in the x000 like 23,000 and above but I can only connect to 0-10 out of those. That for 6 torrents that I have now. \I usuallly have 2 active torrents downloading at the same time but still slow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akronica Posted September 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Open Office downloaded as follows17(61) seeds and 2(4) peers, speed 116 kb/sso it connected to 17 seedsI still have issues with other torrents though, dont know why I get less than 10 connections out of (20,000 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 I still don't know the max speed of your connection down AND up,what ISP you have (do they throttle BitTorrent?),OR what settings you're trying and failing to use in uTorrent...as shown by Speed Guide (CTRL+G) window.Try the latest v1.8.1 beta. Some serious connectivity bugs were fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akronica Posted September 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 My speed down is 116kbs as indicated in my post and up speed was around 10 as I limit my up speed to 10 kb/s when I am downloading. My ISP doesnt throttle uTorrent but I guess its the connection overall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
