KaZZaP Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 I'm downloading a larger file and it was dl'n at pretty good speeds (100-180kbs) but out of nowhere my speeds has dropped to at highest 1kbs, this a 29 gig transfer so these speeds are killing me. I have another computer hooked up through a router on my connection and the the router is a D link, my ISP is shawcable, I am very new to using torrents so ne help would be nice.I portforwarded to Utorrent but the speeds are still just barely 2kbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Shaw throttles BitTorrent (same crap as Rogers), turn on Protocol Encryption in beta 426 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaZZaP Posted February 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 The speeds are staying pretty much the same but theres only 1(5)seeds and 95(1100) peers and its going about 2kbs again but will it raise once more people connect? or is there something more I can do to help my speed?

1c3d0g Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Yeah, you'll just have to wait until more people upgrade to clients that support the Encryption. Shaw is very problematic when it comes to BitTorrent. B.t.w., have you used port 1720? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaZZaP Posted February 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 I dont understand what made my speed drop it was going really fast my dl should of been done by now but then it just stopped dead in its tracks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 that's for rogers, and it doesn't work anymore in many areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Well maybe Shaw just detected you using BitTorrent and have decided to throttle you? Are you sure there are still seeds/peers left in the swarm? Edit: and if that fails, try a common port, like 80 or something. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 I should've asked this earlier. What's availability, how many seeds in the swarm, how many peers in the swarm, is it a movie/tv torrent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 lol that's why, poorly seeded torrent. With so few seeds it'll take a long time to finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaZZaP Posted February 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 still dont undertand why it slowed down so much though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 You probably reached the amount that everyone else had, so now you're dependent on the speeds of the few seeders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefarious Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 have you check in the "peers" tab and see if everyone else's % is same as yours? that would explain it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaZZaP Posted February 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Ya thats it all the other peers are the same % as me so I can get much from them, this is gonan take a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
