Torrent Managers & Settings

[TomasW]

Hi All,

Can you guys recommend some good torrent managers along with their recommended settings?

Getting very slow speeds on my uTorrent. It gives me this message that it’s not connectable. Firewall/Router is limiting your traffic.

have you forwarded your ports?

you can try the actual BitTorrent Client (upon which uTorrent is based).

I heard rumours that the new client of uTorrent will have network management built in and will throttle your torrents when it detects a busy network.

I will try to foward the ports. But I am afraid that it is the Screamer Uncapped ADSL that is causing this issue.

can you sign up with a News Server provider like Giganews for their free trial and test it on a News Server download. It should come down at full speed (I get full speed on my 4 mbps with Astraweb news server).

I think you will find if you read the screamer thread(the looong one), they basically say that you can expect to have the slow connections until they sort out a couple of issues (week or less).
