gunderson69 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 ill start with my problem, im downloading some files using utorrent, at the moment this is what im getting: download 1: Seeds 4 (511) Peers 15 (2113) download 2: Seeds 6 (491) Peers 14 (2289) download 3: Seeds 7 (551) Peers 13 (2434) download 4: Seeds 6 (434) Peers 12 (1442) so as you can tell i am not connecting to all the possible seeds and peers therefore my download speed is not very high. this is what ive got, shaw 5mb cable, using their router. im using utorrent and i have the green tick, ive got ports 28312 open. ive read the guides online but everything i try does not work, ive changed ports, ive tried a different downloading client (bitorrent) and so on, and still the same thing happens. i did a test to see it my ISP throttles and the test confirmed that they do not.i did a linux torrent *cant remember the name of it* but was able to hit around like 600 kb/s with lots of connected seedsi also tried doing the same torrent on both my desktop and my laptop, and my laptop was connected to like 44 seeds or so right away and was going 140 kb/s approximately, and my desktop was only connected to like 4 or 5 and going like 20 kb/s, all on the same wired router so i dont't think that it is a router problemany help would be great thanks!

Switeck Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Sounds like UPnP at work on the Laptop, auto-forwarding port/s as needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 No, many of those seeds may be firewalled or quit running that torrent HOURS ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
