Is there anyway to make BT work with sp2? or am i screwed? My BT works but its VERY slow |

How To Use BT Properly. Your kinda confusing me with what you said. Are you talking about video codec or just Bit Torrent. Im on SP1. Im not gonna deal with SP2. My Bit Torrents work fine. please explain a little better. This post has been edited by Takumi Trueno on Sep 21 2004, 06:21 PM |

If you are using DSL then you will have a problem with SP2 I heard. My suggestion is that you get rid of Sp2. Go to add and remove in Control Panel and select the corrct Windows "Hot Fix" i think its called, to uninstall it. |

IDW Goldmember Group: Advanced Members Posts: 3,835 Member No.: 2,098 Joined: Jun 24th 2004 Location: Bay Area, California | Thats why I dont upgrade to SP2. When big updates come out like that one I wait to hear enough about it to get it or not. Well I cant help you out much since I dont even have SP2. Just try uninstalling the SP2 Hot fix. |

Request Title - PM Mods Group: Members Posts: 415 Member No.: 1,800 Joined: May 9th 2004 Location: Update Profile | two things that'll help...... 1. what codecs did u install? cause theres some good ones on this forum if u ever have problems viewing the clips. Takumi Trueno&EvilTaxi.... can u guys help me out on this one for the links? :Xl:thanks really appreciate it 2. try installing an updated version of bt http://bittornado.com/ or try to run some software like.... spy/adware removers and your antivirus program. better to clean everything off cause if when u installed SP2, maybe there was some spy/adware still on your hd thats causing this problem. and for bt to be working so slow...... it takes time for it to reach other comps, kinda like when your searching for files on a P2P. hope that helps This post has been edited by crzydriftin on Sep 22 2004, 09:44 AM |

BT gets up to max speed but it takes a long time T.T with SP2 i guess its just something ill have to live with |

IDW Goldmember Group: Advanced Members Posts: 3,835 Member No.: 2,098 Joined: Jun 24th 2004 Location: Bay Area, California | The only hard thing about Making a Torrent Is Finding a Tracker to host the torrent and A program to make the Torrent With. The program that you need to make a torrent is called "Make Torrent". The program is very simple. You just need to select the file or directory you want the torrent to be of. Then you need a tracker to host it on. Once the torrent is made you need to open it, and be ready to seed when you release to to whoever. Here is the program Make Torrent If you want anyone to get the file try uploading the torrent to Suprnova.org This post has been edited by Takumi Trueno on Sep 30 2004, 08:28 PM |

Shmuck Group: Members Posts: 1 Member No.: 3,563 Joined: Oct 5th 2004 Location: Update Profile | Service Pack 2 limits the TCP/IP stack to a ridiculously low amount of possible connections per second - thus crippling torrent clients from amassing peers in a short space of time. This has been well documented and it's probably on every torrent-news site there is. There's a fix for this problem - and you were right - it's because of service pack 2 and service pack 2 alone. You should disable the new firewall, and make sure you open ports on any 3rd party software/hardware firewalls you have. Here's what you want: http://www.lvllord.de/?url=tools#4226patch You should connect to peers much faster now! This post has been edited by alco on Oct 5 2004, 05:58 AM |

IDW Prime Member Group: Advanced Members Posts: 870 Member No.: 2,887 Joined: Aug 31st 2004 Location: Update Profile | What exactly is the error Azureus is giving you? I've never had any problems with it before and it always worked. Do you have the latest version of Java and the latest release of Azureus installed? (off topic) BTW: I dunno why BitTornado (aka Shad0w's Client) is so heavily prased. That thing never worked for me and when it did would only download at like 5k max while Azurues would download anywere between 40 - 100k on my DSL.

IDW Goldmember Group: Advanced Members Posts: 3,835 Member No.: 2,098 Joined: Jun 24th 2004 Location: Bay Area, California | The Bit Torrent Client has nothing to do with how fast you can download. It all has to do with how many seeds and Peers there are to download from. Do you think you will download at 100k with only 1 seed? Of course not. The ony other thing that affects your speed is if you have your ports open or not. |

IDW Prime Member Group: Advanced Members Posts: 870 Member No.: 2,887 Joined: Aug 31st 2004 Location: Update Profile | Takumi: I've tried both clients on anime torrents with a 1000+ seeds. Azureus was faster than BitTornado with roughly the same amount of connected seeds & leeches (give or take a few). I also did the same thing on my friend's Cable modem at his house, same results. Both of us have similar pc configs both with port range 1024 - 655xx(forget exactly how high it goes) on our firewalls for both clients (both use Panda Platnium) and his router set for him as DMZ (my DSL modem is directly connected). In the end Azurues won the test. |

Your an idiot. Then it is a freakin' coincidence. BT clients doesnt matter when it comes to download speeds. That was ALL CHANCE. You were lucky to connect to a fast peer, that was all. | ||

You open ports 6881-6999 not 1024 - 655xx. Also, make sure the firewall that's built into windows XP is turned off. I DL torrents with BitTornado at full speed *146 KB/s*. | ||

Mine is set to random ports thats why I don't have just 6881 - 6999. And I always disable the WindowsXP firewall. The computer I'm on right now isn't using XP its using ME (due to circumstances out of my control my personal pc's cpu is unstable do to the fan motor dying out causing the chip to cook). DrEVOVIII: If its coincidence then how come this always happens when I try BitTornado? I've tried it on more than one occation on different computers. Hell when my personal PC's cpu was cooking itself due to a defective fan I gave it a shot on my family's pc. Same thing happens. The difference I've seen is that with Azurues I always get active seeds while with BitTornado it seems like I never do. And when it comes to computers don't flame me calling me ignorant. Thanks to my family I've had access to mess around with computers since the late 80's wich is alot more experience than at least half this board. So I would appritiate it if you would refrain from flaming me. As for the whole "client doesn't matter bit" I'd have to say you guys are wrong. All clients aren't created equal. More goes into making a client than just adding features. Each one was coded differently by different programmers with different programming styles and some in totally different programming langauges wich does effect performance. People optimize their code differently thus differences in performance from client to client. | ||||
