DreadWingKnight Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 What is the "other software"?What settings are you using in uTorrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iglish Posted August 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 I'm uploading with zippyshare uploader (over 8Mpbs), downloading from mediafire and bitcomet (bitcomet goes over 10Mbps). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 And what unit are you normalizing to?*bit/sec or *byte/sec?uTorrent, outside of the speed guide, ONLY displays in *byte/sec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Are you testing the same torrents in uTorrent as you are in bitcomet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iglish Posted August 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Well..no. What's the point of using uTorrent if Bitcomet is better. I use bitcomet only for ftp file download. Don't like it with torrent. But I'm testing it with torrents with thousands of seed/peers and still nothing. Can you give me a torrent that you know it goes beyond a certain speed....just to compare what you get with what I get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 For upload, I've got nothing.For download, slackware torrents WILL give a high download speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iglish Posted August 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Just tested one "http://thepiratebay.sx/torrent/7687387" ...over 3.5 Mb/s with just 3 seeds. Tried with a movie ~30.000 seeds and still under 500kB/s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 http://slackware.com/getslack/torrents.php should be where you get slackware torrents from, not TPB.And other torrents not giving good speed is a case of those torrents not being good for download speed in general.

iglish Posted August 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Tested, still great speed. Ok, dumb question here: Am I getting my torrents at the wrong place? I use "www.torrentz.eu" as a torrent search engine. What do you use...or what do you recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 As stated MANY times you can ONLY download as fast as the connected peers will send pieces.Linux torrents always have available seeds and few peers taking up connections on them, picking random jobs from indexing sites in NOT a conclusive test. This is a torrent link for Centos 6.4 [5.4GB] and is showing 800+ seeds with only 82 peers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
