Bittorrent problems...

Post by **KingManULTRA** » Wed Sep 21, 2005 12:37 am

Yeah, I know this is the 700th bittorrent thread...but still.

I get shitty download speeds with bittorrent for somre reason. I also notice that the # of peers goes down over time. I might have only 5 after a few hours, but upon reconnecting, get 12. I use Bit Tornado because it's...simple. I've opened certain ports on mah router two.

What to do? TELL ME !!! RARARAW!

what is a shitty speed?

If you are forwarding the correct ports and are having no issues with your internet connection, then I am sorry to say there is nothing you can do.

Chances are the people seeding the file are not as dedicated to sharing as you are downloading.

I always get 100+kb/sec on bitcomet, 100 being the minimum i have gotten (iso images, rars, etc)

You need to make sure your listen port is forwarded on your router, I have tested this and probably will increase the speed 10x if not more.

You need to make sure your listen port is forwarded on your router, I have tested this and probably will increase the speed 10x if not more.

The listen ports are forwarded?

Here is what I've got:

(Linksys Router, Forward Tab)
6881-6999 TCP/UDP 192.168.1.xxx (xxx let's me input the values of the respective PCs)

I almost always only get between 10 and 18 kb/s on every torrent I've downloaded over extended periods of time. What is your upload if you dl at 100 kb/s?

I heard there is some bittorrent client that is better at detecting available connections than others. Any thing I should know about when configuring Azureus?

do the nat test in azureus. also, dont max out your upload (thats a given)
i think with the latest release of azureus you dont need to open 23423901 ports anymore, just 6881. could be wrong though

Post by **R00k** » Wed Sep 21, 2005 9:08 pm

Azureus, and make sure you cap your upload to a reasonable amount for your connection. You'll thank us shortly.

edit: And yes, do the NAT test.

And don't use the 6881-6999 port, it get's blacklisted frequently.

What's that mean? EDIT: How do I change which one I use?

Post by **Cooldown** » Wed Sep 21, 2005 10:02 pm

Go to Tools > Options > Connection

Change Incoming TCP listen port field to something else, ie. 16881

Post by **KingManULTRA** » Wed Sep 21, 2005 11:29 pm

Is there a program similar to Azureus with the same option to detect NAT settings and change listen ports that doesn't require Java?

Post by **Foo** » Wed Sep 21, 2005 11:31 pm

What's the beef with Java?

Most people complaining about Java performance problems with Azureus were using the MS built in implementation of Java or not the latest version.
