griffy46 Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 can someone tell me why with a 1.8 share ratio & over 500 peers for a single file my download is .2-.5 kbs yes i have enabled port forwarding, its annoying when i have my upload unlimited, but even that is only 1.5 kbs, and files take a week or two to get!

Vectorferret Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Unlimited upload can have problems, since you won't have enough upload left to request pieces from other users.Edit - Oh, and for reference, share ratio has no bearing on speed. It's only how much you uploaded in the last minute or so that will effect your download speed. Also, make sure your ISP isn't throttling bit torrent, as a lot do.

Ultima Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 The thing is, griffy46 said even his upload is only at 1.5KB/s... meaning something else is up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultima Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Patched TCPIP.SYS and set net.max_halfopen accordingly? I doubt it'll help, but worth a try. Don't forget to reboot your computer after patching.Check that you have ZoneAlarm configured properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
