Slackware/ OpenOffice Slow whereas others are fast .

Hello People,,

Thanks for this efficient Bittorrent client, am a loyal utorrent user since a long time time now. I just bought a new laptop with vista ultimate and using utorrent 1.8.1 with Kaspersky antivirus and sunbelt firewall.

Now i have read everything, i portforwarded easily on both router and firewall, i also fixed the slow internet browsing after reading your helpful guides so i disabled DHT so now i am fine with using the net alongside µtorrent.

The thing is , i am testing on Slackware linux distribution ( i have 4Mbps downstream and 512 Kbps upstream) but all there releases their trackers go offline and with DHT disabled i can't download there . So i tried Open Office, and waited 10 mins on average, but still i won't get to 400+ Kbps download speed .

So what i did is that i tried on Vuze ( azureus's site) to try most-downloaded content to check my speed, and the download speed went up so fast almost to 400 Kbps and when i checked the peers tab they were all using azureus and i got high speeds there i don't know why . I will REMAIN using µtorrent to the end but how come i get good speeds on vuze's site but on Slackware linux distribution and OpenOffice i can't get high speeds . I noticed about the peers in the swarm on vuze they were all using azureus .

So is there something i missed ?

All your help will be Appreciated . Thank you very much People .

Without the ability to PEX, you can only get Azureus peers. DHT is uT (and camp) and Azureus (and camp).. they use incompatible DHT pool methods.

This suggests you have tracker contact problems... you don't have trouble contacting the tracker for other sites.. like http://azureus.sourceforge.net/index_CVS.php

I have DHT disabled but Peer exchange and local Peer Exchange are enabled i can browse the net while using µtorrent. So how can i fix this issue man (Y) ? I mean howcome i am getting good speeds there while the rest test Torrents i can't get high Download speeds in them ?

Thanks in advance .

I will be trying highly seeded torrents from large Bittorrent Site like Mininova and i'll give it 15 mins to see the average speed. Thanks again .

OK i have tried a well seeded torrent the seeders to leechers ratio is like almost 3 for like 30 minutes. My speeds are less than 30KB/s now .

This is from a well known Bittorrent indexing site Mininova.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in Advance (Y) .
