[Hellotalkie]

If Iam downloading on torrent, what if my up speed is higher than my download speed. Should I set a limit, and if i do set a limit will my dl speed lower>

 

[Hellotalkie]

bump

 

[FoBoT]

is that a software question? or a pirate question?

 

[mesthead21]

It all depends on the seeder to leecher ratio, and right now your a seeder because there arent that many available with the full file, so you are seeding what you have of the file until more seeders come.

I tried to explain that.

 

[Hellotalkie]

Its a software, not pirate. Trying to download the nfs demo, since bittorrent seems a lot faster

You're only a seeder if you have the full file (100% downloaded) and are still sharing, AFAIK.

<Lex Luthor> WRONG </Lex Luthor>

He is NOT a seeder until he has 100% of the file downloaded.

Limit your upload speed to 50-75% of your maximum upload capacity.

I didn't know if this would be internet either, its offtopic imo.

It always seems that I upload twice what I download, I guess some people must just have hacked clients that don't require them to upload any, and they just screw it for the rest of us. It really sux since my download limit is twice the upload limit, but since I have to upload twice what I download I end up only getting 1/4 the download that I should. Oh well, 2Gb a day is still pretty good I guess.

 

[WildHorse]

yes you do set a limit.

Read this thread, and the guide which is recommended there to tune and probably accelerate your BT client's performance.

uTorrent ftw

I was gonna ask what client.... I think you have some config issues. Also, if you are using a broadband router, make sure you have port forwarding configured correctly.

 

[doze]

If the torrent has plenty of seeders and your client, firewall, and router are properly configured then you should get very nice download speeds

What client are you using?

Bit Torrent has many legitmate uses. Linux, independent music. I've downloaded pictures from Nasa via bittorrent. Many legit uses.

 

[trailnut]

Yep. I like it for acquiring more Linux distros.

And creative commons IPTV shows. Those guys are spending enough money as it is, give their servers a break use bittorrent.

so then this is a software question about software, so it goes in the software forum
