dats a glitch from ISP.
to get a downloading speed of 9MBps one must have a net speed of atleast 72~75Mbps :grin:

ISP trouble and they rectified it I think.
Now what "wasted **mb(**hash fail)" means? As I see that if there is a piece of the file we are downloading and suddenly we close the program by shutting system or by any means than that specific piece gets corrupted and is wasted thus no problem if system crashes etc on the file you are downloading as it re downloads the wasted pieces and when files gets 100% it gets integrated.

If I am wrong please correct me and also explain what does the hash fail in torrent means?

^^I had thought that but then why does it says some times **mb wasted 0 hash fail or **mb wasted 20 hash fail.
Once while I was downloading it was about 5mb wasted 2 hash fail and other 800mb wasted 200 hash fail.Please go in detail if possible.

Hash Fails are the data send to you by a peer which is corrupted and so Utorrent throws it out. Utorrent usually blocks a IP if the hash fail from that IP is more than 5 so in that 800 MB scenario of your peer's no. must be very large.

Utorrent FAQ said:
Wasted shows a combination of discarded data and bad data. Discarded data is data that's sent to you by a peer that your client didn't want. Hashfails happen when bad data is received and the client throws it out.

µTorrent automatically verifies all downloaded data and will ensure that only correct data is written to disk.

wiki said:
The hash is a string of alphanumeric characters in the .torrent file that the client uses to verify the data that is being transferred. It contains information like the file list, sizes, pieces, etc. Every piece received is first checked against the hash. If it fails verification, the data is discarded and requested again. The 'Hash Fails' field in the torrent's General tab shows the number of these hash fails.
Hash checks greatly reduce the chance that invalid data is incorrectly identified as valid by the BitTorrent client, but it is still possible for invalid data to have the same hash value as the valid data and be treated as such. This is known as a hash collision.

Here in this case use:

800mb wasted 200 hash fail

Use manual ipfiltering/ipfilter.dat or PeerBlock to avoid repeated hash fails. PeerBlock will block bad/rogue peers automatically.

Well I have a 256 Kbps Unlimited DSL Connection. Usually Torrent D/L Speed is around 30 KBps at idle and around 20 KBps while surfing websites. Tonight before some time, for a span of around 10 mins, I was receiving a crazy speed of 9 MBps// :shock: Though it lasted for a very small period, it helped me download stuffs, which would have taken a whole day/ :))

So What do u guys think caused this? Well, I have seen similar problems with my Network before too, but that was maybe for a minute.

I suppose you are using Alliance Broadband. Some of my friends really are getting around 2.5 MB/s speed from Sunday. Actually , they have all locan Aliance BB users connected as peers via some LAN system, you will get EThernet Card speed download from them [ Only reason which seems somewhat logical for the huge speeds :| ].

Well hash fail is something you can't completely stop. But you can just lower it. Its more in new torrents with a lot of seeders and peers. Old torrents have less problems with hash fails.

The above link was quite useful. I imported the dat file into the logs of uTorrent, to filter those annoying IP's who supposedly promises to waste bandwidth by supplying illegal amounts of hashfails!
Thanks! :p

See the attachment.
Although its simple. Whenever you go to any section you can see a New Thread button and you have to press that to start a new thread. :)

I think you can't make new threads in some sections like Bazaar, until you are active on TDF for atleast 4 days, and have a post count of 10.
Just security measures for spam control, my friends. No feud involved :-D

Is it necessary to pay for private trackers as I use public one and many a while I see them while searching for torrents and seems they need to crate an account with payment option. I read previously that "PT can be only joined by invite" else "when free registration is open" so is paying necessary otherwise or any other conditions are there.
