wtf torrent?

[scurvy]

me and my buddy who live in the same town are downloading the same torrent and i can only get 20k while he gets 200k. i have dsl he has cable. he ALWAYS kills me in speed. wtf is up???:dork:

 

[CyberSh33p]

well, either your dsl provider sucks, or you're getting crappy uploaders. what happens with "regular" downloads?

 

[scurvy]

regular downloads are fine and my isp is fine. its ONLY on torrents that he blows me away. and i'm positive its all the time.

 

[CyberSh33p]

could be your net card or dsl modem thingy. bt is known to have issues with em, though mainly bluescreening... odd.

 

[nsxownzme]

you're not alone scurvy.. hell I'm getting 5kb/s right now on a torrent.

 

[azz0r]

Ditto, and Im uploading @ 14kbs! Damn leeches

 

[ilove64]

For the most part I get around 30-40 KB. This morning I was getting about 50kb, but that only lasted for about 5 minutes.

 

[Aethaecyn]

I left torrent on overnight, got 600 mb of content, uploaded 1.4 gigs, I hate bittorrent. I hope it dies. Makes me upload at 40 kb and lets me download at 10.

 

[crax]

Same.

I upload at 15KBs and download at 2kbs...And believe it or not my upload speed is alot slower then my download. I hate TORRENT

 

[Hallucinogen]

n00bs, I got this damn thing at 400KB/s (long live ftp's).

 

[LoneDeranger]

Haha, I'm not downloading it, so all 600KB/s worth of my bandwith are free for that juicy pr0n and other shit :cheese:

 

[machima]

21kb/s DL, 11kb/s UP. Mine's working just fine downloading a game (Not HL2 if you're thinking that).

 

[Apollo 13]

Im downloading at 4kbs and upload at 9-16kbs. I wish ppl put the files for torrents on kazaa. I get blazing speeds with kazaa lite.

 

[chadjones]

If you're on a dsl router, it could be what's causing the slowdown. The same thing happened to me. Using the PORT FORWARDING option for ports 6881-6999 to the machine you torrent on should speed things up dramatically, if that's the problem.
