I don't know what my problem is. I have Bresnan Internet with the Speed Burst Plus. If I do a speed test I get 14000kbps. When I download on Bit Torrent I am lucky if i get 25kb/s-40kb/s, that is a torrent with 75(175) peers. I have a Belkin F5D7234-4 Wireless Router but the computer I am downloading on is physically connected to the wireless. Can someone please help me figure out why this is downloading Bittorrents so slow? Is it because I need to port forward, setup my bittorrent or what?? I would appreciate someones help very very much. Thanks again.
i use utorrent ...tried a few others but this seems the best...it has a status light at the bottom and if your port is blocking some of the connections it will not go green ....make sure you limit your upload in settings....and lastly you may have to port forward ...it seems hard but if you go slowly its not that bad will only take 10-15 minutes...loads of good guides on the net...do not forget before you port forward you need to configure your computer to a static ip address
You do need to port forward your router (to a port or port's over 10,000) and make your client an exception in any firewall. Find your router here or one similar to it, click on it, find your client, click on it and follow the instruction's: http://www.portforward.com/english/route...routerindex.htm (check for your modem too, some have firewall's) you may need a static address, guide on that site too. In your client, disable UPnP and enable Protocol Encryption if your client support's it: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/395674 Set your upload to 80% after a speed test, speed test's usually show in kb and client's show in KB (1 KB-kilobyte = 8 kb kilobit). Your 40 KB is actually 320 kb, still bad.
