I have a Gigabit Connection but slow torrent Speeds....!?!

[[email protected]]

1.8.5 is much better than 2.0

i just saw the ss and i think u are putting too many torrents in the seedbox.

just try to pause all the torrent and add a good new torrent from tl,scc, revtt and then check the speed.

Hah, "Test by:anon". :happy:

Don't forget download speeds also depend on others's upload pipes - unless you're connected to seedboxes, torrents with a low amount of seeders will take longer to complete than well-seeded ones.

Bandwidth:
Max Upload Rate: 5600

Global Downloading Rate Limiting: 0

Global Maximum Number of Connections: 950

Maximum Number of Connected Peers per Torrent: 125

Number of Upload Slots per Torrent: 50

Use additional upload slots if upload speed

I have mine set to 1000 and 500 with 6 upload slots
Had it lower, and never maxed out my home line...
You can only get the amount of speed equal to the speed available of the connected peers. If you only connect to 125 peers, and each only has X bandwidth, you will get more if you connect to more peers (if more peers are available that is)

But I have NEVER had anything above 2mbps...!

Even on Popular torrents like LOST with over 1000 seeds on a IPT, still 2mbps.

I just don't understand. There has to be something, a setting or something I am missing...?

Seems like something is funneling my utorrent

I don't think that's a seedbox.

EDIT: You can try this article and see if it does anything: http://www.bootstrike.com/Articles/BitTorrentGuide/index.html

i will surely read the article, but believe me this technique has always worked with me and specially on low ram seedboxes like kimsufi c-05.
more over this techinuqe works like a charm for large torrents above 50 gb

Yes, Rapidshare limits speeds for non-Premium users, but as far as I know Megaupload doesn't.

Check this out before we go any further:

It's a P2P shaping test. It will tell you if your ISP is slowing down BitTorrent speeds in purpose.

I know we're talking about a Gbit line here, but on a sidenote, on a "normal" home connection that will slow down things down due to the excessive overhead traffic. I have a 3Mbit connection and connecting to 20 seeders is enough to max it out.

Should I run it with Utorrent ON or OFF ?

 

[augerrhythms]

Nothing on that article (which I have used before) seemed to improve my speeds.

I used MegUpload to download a 800mb file, and took around 8mins and averages at 2.5mbps Download

Something is wrong...

I have a Hacked SB6120 Modem, I shouldn't have these crappy speeds

 

[lealovebite™]

You should close uTorrent and everything else using your Internet connection.

What should I have mine set too?

You could try something from this site. Choose the American server to download from. http://www.gamershell.com/download_53592.shtml You dont have to download it all just see what speeds you hit. I max out my line of 1.9MB/sec on the UK server.

 

[serlin]

Have you ever hit high speeds downloading files via non-bittorrent?

 

[Lauren]

Just saying what works for me, I never said it was normal. But if I jump on older torrents (which I do often) and each only has a few KB upload, then connecting to as many seeders is needed, rather then 20 people at 5KB/seeder

I always max my down and up, peers permitting.

I hit 5.6 mbps before downloaded completed, it kept rising, but then the file finished downloading, maybe something larger in file size...

Ok this one is 1.1GB http://www.gamershell.com/download_23994.shtml
