Drayen Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 I've been having huge problems connecting to peers, i currently opened a torrent as a test, which has 16000 seeds and 4000 peers, im connected to 11 seeds and 8 peers out of a maximum of 225 peers max per torrent after running the torrent for 10minutes... ive tried disabling my firewall, other torrent programs, but its always the same, and its VERY annoying. I've triple checked every option limits, and everything seems fine.Also, on my old computer i had Norton, but on the new one i have NOD32.This problem as also existed on my old computer, which i just replaced a few weeks ago, so its probably not my computer, i replaced my cable modem as well, but im still having the same problem, so now im clueless as to what to do. Otherwise than that, my internet is perfectly fine, im starting to think its probably just my ISP thats doing its thing, but before i come and whine at them id rather check out if its on my end somehow.

Drayen Posted September 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Not much better with the beta build, connected to 40 seeds 6 peers on the same torrent, kinda annoys me cause i can download up to 800 but due to the low amount of connections i cant reach my potential >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anstice Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Have you tried changing the encryption options? I had trouble with this and changed the encryption options just now and my d/l speed is much improved (2.2kb/s to 124kb/s)Go to Options->Preferences->BitTorrentThen in the bottom section called Protocol Encryption set it to enabled and make sure "Allow incoming legacy connections" is checked.Hope this helps.

Drayen Posted September 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Seems like it helped a lot, thanks anstice : Pi still wonder what triggered that problem though.. one day my torrents were fine but out of nowhere they downloaded slow and barely connected to peers.

Anstice Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 That's what happened to me. I remember on older versions of utorrent you were asked if you wanted to enable encryption on the speed guide.I'm not sure why this was removed or why encryption plays such a big factor in d/l and u/l speeds.Anyway, glad I could help. =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
