Slow torrent/connection

[Beber]

Hi there,

I always had a problem while downloading torrents, and while looking by there, I found something new.

When I download a torrent, it goes very slow (30Ko/s a top speed, with 2000 seed or more). For my connection, this is very slow, and moreover, downloading torrent slow down my connection, which lead to a 3/4sec ping on every internet application (browser...). That means I can't do nothing while downloading torrent at 20Ko/s, but my connection can easily go to 200Ko/sin "normal" time.

I read the "Common Procedure" of this forum, and I found this:

Try testing a torrent from OpenOffice.org, Slackware Linux, or Ubuntu Linux? (If any of them run quickly, then the problems you're experiencing likely lie only with the swarm)

I just tried OpenOffice, and the download speed went up to 140Ko/s! I never saw that before! So, I guess I have problem with the "swarm", but since English isn't my language, and I'm not an expert in µtorrent, I don't really know how to solve this probem...

And also, I have two PC linked to the same internet connection, and while one of these (PC A) can download a torrent at a speed of 100Ko/sec, the other (and always the same, PC will not go over 30Ko/sec. On PC A, almost any torrent can be downloaded with a 100Ko/sec speed, but on PC B, the OpenOffice torrent was the first one...

Thanks,

Edit: Ok, I just understand what a swarm is. But on the same torrent, PC A (also with µtorrent) can goes up to 150Ko/sec, while PC B won't go over 30Ko/sec.

1st and 2nd link in my signature.

1st one is for troubleshooting, and tells you what information you'll need to give us if the problem isn't solved quickly.

2nd link gives suggested settings for uTorrent based on your max sustainable UPLOAD speed.
