µtorrent-Guest Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Posting about any illegal sharing of copyrighted content is strictly FORBIDDEN.Hint: these stuff is not hosted on ISP backbone seeding boxes like this stuff:http://bittorrent.ccc.de:2342/legal torrents from "Hackers" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNA Posted May 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 I don't want legal torrents, I want to know why my torrents are so slow. I use a Draytek Vigor 2600GE router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 µtorrent-Guest provided that link because those torrents can be used as benchmark torrents to see if there's anything wrong with your configuration... For all you know, the slow speeds might be because of the swarm. That's what those torrents are for. To test that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNA Posted May 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 uTorrent Guest: Where do I find the UDP port number for uTorrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 The UDP port is the port that µTorrent uses. But that's irrelevant at this point, as UDP has nothing to do with the speeds, and your DHT appears to be working properly anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNA Posted May 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Thanks I tried one of these "legal torrents", it downloads at 280-340 kB/s.Can anyone link to a good torrent site? (Send a mail ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DNA Posted May 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 That "legal" torrent downloaded at 300 kbps. Now I've tried many other torrents, and they all download at 30-40 kbps.. >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Yeah the error lies with the torrent you're trying to download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNA Posted May 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Yeah the error lies with the torrent you're trying to download.Ok 471 peers and 2 seeds =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
µtorrent-Guest Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 DNA, give us all highspeed ISP backbone lines unthrottled and you will have no speed problem at any torrent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 DNA: use the speed guide, get a green light, make sure your firewall isn't interfering, turn on protocol encryption Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Another key thing to check is availability column of the torrent. If there's 6 seeds and 10,000 peers and you see 6.01 availability...something's very wrong because it means out of the 10,000 peers there's only 0.01 copies of the completed torrent!

DNA Posted May 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 The Tracker Status jumps between Working and Offine all the time.. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
µtorrent-Guest Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 is it TPB? Than THAT is "normal"No, the tracker is not down. Its just overloaded like always. Leave the torrent running and it will successfully contact the tracker sooner or later. The tracker is actually 4 computers. They dont respond to ping and you cant traceroute to them, all ports except 80 is blocked. All tracker computers are automaticlly restarted after 6 hours, this is because Linux only can handle about 20000 connections at the same time. Then the TCP/IP stack dies.

maccool111 Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 I must be doing something seriously wrong as not only do my download speeds never get above 40kBs but when I attempted to test with the legal torrents despite trying 6 NOT one of them would even start.Also along the u.torrent task bar just to the left of the green DHT light I have the words "Download limited".Any help please as it's taking forever to get my TV episodes.

µtorrent-Guest Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 "Download Limited" means you set your upload limit to low!Then you will be punished with slow DL speeds!It's "anti leech" protection in µTUse the speedguide values CTRL+G for your uploadspeed.

maccool111 Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Followed every ones advice and now my nice green DHT button has turned yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Huh? Reading the FAQ caused you to lose the green light? That's impossible unless you read incorrectly. In any case, the light won't turn green unless you have an active torrent, and it works better if you have more peers/seeds on that torrent.

DNA Posted May 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 I use BitComet now. It's much, much faster on every single torrent i try. Bye! Always 80-210 kB/s on BitComet, only 10-40 kB/s on uTorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 You've got a very real problem with µTorrent having less-than-stellar download speeds. It may seem to be torrent-specific or not, but it's there. Alot of the times it's aggrevated in the extreme by being firewalled in all sorts of subtle and not-so-subtle ways Or having ridiculous settings for your connection type+speed.I sometimes wonder...if all you intend to do is download as quickly as possible then BitComet may indeed seem the solution.Maximize download speeds...without thinking about the other end of the equation.BitComet cheats the system know as the BitTorrent Protocol and various BitTorrent clients:http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=5181http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=3531If that's your definition of "better", don't stare too long into the mirror...you may get where you don't like what you see.

Switeck Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 I am certain that you will be able to get at least as much download speed as you're giving in upload speed on all but the most poorly seeded torrents....if all of µTorrent's problems are sorted out.It may even rival or beat BitComet's results then.
