torrent speed

[meetdilip]

It is bad, it will affect your browsing.

can't say for sure .. previously when I used Xp and ut 2.1 and set high priority or torrents with lots of seeders the browing was really slow .. same was true with win 7 but ever since I started using win 8 the issue has been greatly fixed. So win 8 has better bandwidth management IMO

@OP: download torrents which have better number of seeders, else you will get slow speeds no matter how fast your connection is

 

[asingh]

If you are reaching your maxed out ISP throughput, nothing more can be done about it. If you are getting less speeds then it can be factored to: ports, throttling, seeds.

like discussed before it also depends on the peers and sometime I can get max speed on torrents which have only 8-10 seeders but a very few peers.

hmm.. and sometime I get 2-3 KBPS though the torrent having 1000+ seeders peers.

Anyway to block /ignore seeders peers which have low upload speed?

@OP you can use torrent to direct download feature offered by certain websites . There are paid and free services . These sites acts like an online cloud storage for the torrents you want to download and you can down it from them as you normally download files from internet . You can also use download managers like IDM or FDM with these services .

PM me to know the site addresses . I don't know whether sharing that kind of site addresses is allowed here .

no there;s no way to do this ( at-least in utorrent ) but sometime I've to restart a torrent download ( with enough seeders ) at-least two times to get proper speed ,, don't know if it's a issue with the utorrent version ( 3.2 ) I'm using or not.

i prefer bittorrent. i gave me better speeds over utorrent. utorrent gave me 200-300kbps. bittorrent gives 900-1000kbps.

I didn't consider such things

with same torrent ? but such difference may not be always possible .. anyway I think you have a very good net connection.

Yes, with same torrent. I have an 8mbps net connection.

cool Thanks for the info.

 

[meetdilip]

I get highest possible speed on utorrent itself.

 

[topgear]

same here and before I used to use Azureus only but ever since it changed to Vuze stopped using it. Tried Bitorrent and Bitcomet and several other torrent clients ( Deluge, FrostWire ) but still utorrent is the best.

I've heard that bittorrent fake speeds...

 

[meetdilip]

Heard same about DAP too.

Download and upload rates are independent. If your plan offers 512kbps download rate and 128kbps upload rate, you will get 512kbps download rate regardless of the amount of data you are currently uploading.

While downloading torrents, if i limit upload speed, then simultaneously i can upload different things on different web apps, like videos on youtube, but if i am downloading with idm, which is eating no upload bandwidth, then uploading videos takes ages unless i limit the download speed in idm or pause the download. can anyone explain this???

 

[topgear]

IDM uses around 5-6 KB/s upload speed while downloading and while downmloading upload works fine .. just checked with downloading a software and simultaneously uploading to imageshack but the download speed on IDM did get halved when doing so.

what settings you use with IDM?? coz in my case, while uploading, IDM still downloads with full bandwidth, and the same video which used to show 15 mins to upload shows 150 min. remaining, being stuck @ 1% for a long time...
