Help with torrents.

Strange, over the weekend I was dl'ing at constant 40-55KBps, tonight all I am getting is arount 10KBps.
Maybe because month-end slow-down?
 
If one of you helpful souls would PM me the settings as well, there'll be a golden stool for you in the Big BroadBand in the sky...
 
Hello all!

I just stumbled accross this site and I think it rocks.(How come I never saw this before? Oh well...) :confused:

Reading the speeds all of you are getting makes me feel like a total newb. My speeds are about 2 - 5kb/s average, max around 20kb/s on a well seeded torrent.I am using BitComet, on 384kB/s line.

Can someone PLZ send me that PM. I would really appreciate it! :)
Thank you in advance.

Hi guys

I'd really appreciate it if anyone could send me the settings. I was getting download rates of 15 - 20 kbps on my line using Bitcomet (which is fine with me, only have a 192kbps line) but now if it averages 5-7kbps on the exactly same torrent (it is well seeded). The problem has to do with port forwarding because I only have local connections. Unfortunately, using the port forwarding website hasn't helped me because I can't seem to get the settings working.

Also, I have the Telkom 5100 4-port router, which they don't have settings for. I've been trying to slap something up using the settings from other router settings but so far no luck. :p

Any help would be appreciated. :)

Thanks

Would appreciate the info/settings as well.

Signed up with Axxess to 'abuse' the internet and am only getting speeds of 3-5 kbps on a 384 line. So sad.
 
I sent all you guys the basic info on how I've got my stuff setup. It's just basic port forwarding etc.

P2P speeds and ADSL in general can be pretty pathetic at the start and end of the month - so I wouldn't get too concerned right now. During the month I haven't had any problems.
 
thanx for the info.
Man, i love this forum :)

One Q tho: how do u setup a service for the router? Just direct me to the relevant dialog box and I'll be able to manage from there
 
Telkom's 4 Port Ethernet Router ... is that specific enough?

BTW, switched Bitcomet from bitTorrent and have upped my upload speeds, not by much tho.
Getting 6-7 kB/s, still quite crappy tho. :(
 
Could someone send me the settings as well. Dont know for some reason the downloads are so slow these days. I have a d-link 504t Router. Thanks
