Hi,

Is it possible to use utorrent to download torrent files with 3G and how does one go about doing that? I hve utorrent installed, my speeds if there is any download is so slow, so frustrating. Kindly advise,

A newbie here, thx

Does it require any open incoming ports? - maybe post a link.

I think it does require open ports...... really don't know how to work this thing, when u torrent is active my speeds from 3G are so slow, i can't even open up another page, i get like 0.2kb/ download speed from utorrent, this truly can't be the case

Please verify whether any incoming ports need to be open & post a link to the info in this thread.

In my experience things like P2P apps run much better if you are on the unrestricted APN due to the incoming port requirements. They don't handle well through NAT.

With torrents you get evaluated on your ability to upload and I suspect this is what's affecting you. First step would be to get those incoming ports open (via the unrestricted apn).

But I would strongly caution you at this point. With P2P you don't see the uploads and even on 64kb/s you can easily loose a Gigabyte of data just in the upload as everyone merrily download from your PC and you won't even notice it happening in the background.

So torrents and bundles or 'capped' systems don't make a good match, they rate you on your ability to share, you want to keep your bundle for downloads.

Maybe try a news server such as giganews.

Set your max upload to 6kb, this gives you unlimited DL speed on utorrent, i was downloading at a constant 270kb a couple nights ago using this

Which APN did you use?

Which APN did you use?

Normal internetapn or whatever its called, just let utorrent use a random port
