Slow Download

[scott]

Alrighty,

When ever I download torrents it goes sooo slow like for what it would take someone else 1hour or less, my computer does it in about 5 :(

Anyway of speeding it up?

Cheeeers!

Depends on how many seeds you're connected to and what speeds they are getting, that is presuming you've set up the firewall to allow connections, portforwarding etc. Basically what speed do you pay for and how many seeds is all that matters.

[Swinkid]

if you havn't opend ports, that maybe why.

[LOLROB]

I sometimes get slow torrents but thats all according where they are from

It could be one of several things
you may need to open some ports
The tracker is running slow
Your client is just rubbish *get bitcomet*

yeh

Torrents are always slow for my self, i could find no way of speeding them up, so i purchased a rapidshare and megaupload account. If you have the money to spend, i recommend you use them.

I would recommend a seedbox

You upload your torrent it downloads onto the server then you directly download

I use to have one on my server and it was downloading 20mb's per second +

i have the same problem scott lol, my internet is so crap and this just proved it !

It could also depend on if your ISP throttles torrents.

It also depends on the maximum upload rate you have. I have always found that utorrent seems to limit my download speed if I decrease my upload limit. I usually keep it at around 2000kb/s and get a high speed (depending on the seeders)

Also, it depends on how much the seeders you are connected to are uploading. If they have it limited to 50kb/s, you wont get much.

You should try and get on a private torrent site their always fast if of course your internet provider doesn't throttle torrents.

If your on virgin you get one free? Since when? And where?

[DMB-Hosting]

Since as long as i remember, just use grabbit.

Retention isn't great tho, but it's good enough.
