utorrent download speed problem

[imageek]

is your router port forwarded??
btw...which router u have ??
go to portforward.com and get the method to do so....

I port forwarded my router and get good speeds....most of the time..its above 150Kbps

I have BSNL 500 plan.

PS: BSNL does not provide good speeds on unlimited plan

[bhunnu16]

If u are running 3 torrents simultaneously try limiting the download speeds of each equally.Like if u get a speed of 205 Kbps, keep the max. download speed of each torrent to 70 kbps. Like this ur bandwidth will be fully utilized and one torrent will not be eating the b/w of other.

PS: Waise which connection u using? BSNL and MTNL don't hv a 2mbps Unlimited plan at cheap rates and also the night hours are less.

@ imageek and Bhunnu
I Am using TATA (VSNL) broadband and have Broadcom Router or ADSL Modem (watever u call them) and havent used "port forwarding" till now.
My prob is ...whether its 1 torrent or 7 torrents, the speed hovers around 195-200 mark (combined speed of all the torrents in case of more than one torrent). I dont limit the speed of individual torrents as some torrents dnt have good speeds (like 7-8k to 45k) so i let them adjust the bandwidth automatically between them.

I have TATA Connection and the plan details are as follows :
Price of pack : 1922 Rs (inclusive of all taxes)
Validity : 3 months
Free Usage : 86 hrs (for 3 months) i.e. approx 1 hour daily.
Night Unlimited : 9 PM to 9 AM daily.

So its fine for me as usually i use net after 9 PM, and 12 hrs daily for download @ 2 Mbps is sufficient for me.

yes, u are doin wrong.... btw wats the no of peers tat u get for tat torrent ??? is it well seeded ??? and wat are ur values for connections ?? plz list them down here..

1. Try to Download From Private Trackers.
2. Check If your torrent has large number of seeders and less number of leechers. Most of the time even though you may have large amount of seeders but the seeders often limit their upload speed to 1KB/s so it is a better Idea to check if the seeders are seeding with high speed
3. Try to Download from other torrents

Thanx anyway for the help!!!
Appreciate that!

tats the best u can get for a 34GB torrent buddy...

well, its not coz of less no. of peers tats causing the proble, the thing is, since its a large file opf 34 gb, no particular seeder wud be remaining uploading at a constant rate as a result of wich u get so fluctuating speeds...

Tip: if that torrent file was divided into several multiple parts, try d/loadoing 2Gb at one go, i.e only after the 2GB out of the 34GB hv been d/loaded, then go in for the next 2GB and so on...

by doint his, u'll hv less number of files to be d/loaded at one time as a result of wich u will definately get good speeds..

I myself hv d/loaded at a whooping rate of 225 kbps on my 256 kbps conn. with jus 11 peers, but in my case i had jus selected part-by-part file d/load ... (as explained above)
------------------------

many ppl will say different things, but this is the main reason y u are getting so poor speeds..

You mean 225KB/s or 225kbps?

[amrawtanshx]

^^
Obviously 256kbps ....
How can it be 256kBps ....

[Xccentricity]

I have Airtel 384 kbits/s UL plan,

But for torrents I never get speeds above 40KBps(always 30-40KBps) and even if it crosses 40KBps it drops down immediately to below 40KBps,

I'm using Windows XP SP3,uTorrent 1.8 and my port is properly forwarded(59393), (Beetel 220BX Router)

I haven't entered the port number in "Virtual Server" however I have entered my LAN IP Address in "DMZ Host"






However while downloading files from Rapidshare etc. I get speeds of 44-50KBps.

well, buddy wen u d/load a file from RS, u always get a constant speed bcoz u d/load from a server wich is transmitting (giving u file) at a constant rate where as in µTORRENT or any other torrent client for that mater, u DO NOT d/load froma server instead u d/load from users and hence its the other users (uploader's) speeds that u are dependant on..

i agree with ^
