Question:
Bit Torrennt Slower than ever???
Hello All, My thread previously (pay for 10 mb/s but get 30kb/s) listesd problems i was having with my internet (everything downloading at a constant 30 kb/s) and that included bit torrennt. Well today, i thought i would redownload a file that my friend hosts, so i did, and instead of downloading at 30 kb/x, i downloaded at 1 kb/s. So whats up??? I can download off websites at 1 meg/s but bit torrennt is 1kb/s?

Your ISP must be throttling your connections, or your client isn't configured properly.

I use Charter, and it says that it does not limit BitTorrennt clients.

Do you use a router? If so, make sure it's configured properly to give your BitTorrent client an open port.

You sure the torrent isn't dead and there are plenty of seeders and leachers?
I have found that if you actually set a limit to the download speeds you can get a better speed from it. Try limiting the DL to say 100kbs if it max's that notch it to 120kbs or down if needed. It does help trust me. When i have been on my college internet of like 16mbit i have been DL at those speeds and this method helped me a lot.
