blaze702 Posted November 5, 2010 Report Posted November 5, 2010 theres this one download giving me trouble. it currently has 3 seeds and 1 peer. ive had other downloads with less seeds go considerably faster so my question is; how can i fix this? ive been downloading it for days now and its at 62%. ive put the bandwidth allocation priority set to high also. is the solution out of my reach? (ie. the seeders have low limits to their up speed?) FILL ME IN plz...
blaze702 Posted November 5, 2010 Author Report Posted November 5, 2010 ok. so now i gain a peer and it drops by 5 kbs avg. this is confusing...
Switeck Posted November 5, 2010 Report Posted November 5, 2010 That kind-of makes sense, because now all the seeds and other peer/s are uploading to the new peer as well...meaning their upload to you is slower. If/when the new peer starts passing along pieces you don't have things could speed back up to the same as before they joined.Make sure you're not uploading a little too fast for your line...because that can clobber download speeds.
blaze702 Posted November 6, 2010 Author Report Posted November 6, 2010 my up cap has been 5 kbs the whole time. anything I can do to boost the down speed? or be patient?
Switeck Posted November 6, 2010 Report Posted November 6, 2010 Why such a low upload speed?Upload too slow and peers ignore you.Uploading VERY slowly to a peer can actually make it snub you. (worse than "ignore", more like ban.)
