BitTorrent is slowing down and there is crap you can do about it. Wanna know why? Yeah... I figured. It's slowing down because the entire system is based off of people sharing the files that they can from wherever. When people stop sharing those files, then there are less people to DL from and it takes longer for a file to get completely DLed, thus the reason that BT is crap. |

I Fabrikat w3rDs!!! Group: Advanced Members Posts: 5,174 Member No.: 1,237 Joined: Feb 4th 2004 Location: Somewhere Inside | Nope... BT is crap because people are moving away from it and back to KaZaA and the rest of them because the interface is better. People will use what they like. I used BT for a little while and then got fed-up with it and ditched it from KaZaA Lite ++... which I still use to this day. |

Also Kazaa fill your HD with spywares. I use Azureus to dowload Torrents. Still slow but at least i can d/l many files at once and it has plenty of useful features. Bit Torrents aren't like Kazaa or most other spreadwares. You find the links on sites and D/L them like normal d/l, exept peoples can leech from you at the same time. A friend of mine has very fast d/l from BTs, i don't know why he can get them so fast. He can get most files in a few hours while some of my files can take days... |

Group: Advanced Members Posts: 5,174 Member No.: 1,237 Joined: Feb 4th 2004 Location: Somewhere Inside | I have downloaded so fast that it does not make sense. 100MB AVI's in less then a minute... 4MB MP3'S almost instantly. Does not make sense... but I have done it. KaZaA Lite ++ has no spyware BTW. The files themselves might, but that's what spyware removal tools are for. |

Maybe that "university" has put your mind inside of a tiny ass box as well. Because my "proof" is in the topic name, as well as in everyone that has said that BT is slow. I don't even have to say anything at all... everyone ELSE is proving my point for me. Neat... isn't it? |

IDW Expert Member Group: Members Posts: 124 Member No.: 413 Joined: May 12th 2003 Location: Update Profile | usually when i get stuff off of bt i look at the seeds. if its low seeds means low speed (unless its a couple of high speed seeds). i like bt. i usually get stuff started round 20k then moves up to anywhere in between 150k to 300k. most eps i have within 30 to 45 mins. cant complain about that. i usually seed and send out the same ep 3 to 4 times before closing it down caus it completely hogs my bandwith and i cant do anything at the time when im uploading. overall bt is great for new releases its just more people gota seed. |

ports 6880 - 6999 usually. If you use something like bittornado, you can change your ports in the app to whatever you want and then port forward those through your router. This allows you to be an open server and see more people. A website explaining it in a little better detail is here: http://bt.degreez.net/firewalled.html | ||

I noticed the last date this was done after I had posted, so I kicked a dead horse hard there, but I figured I might as well just let people know how to speed them up since there isnt anything specific in this thread. |

IDW Prime Member Group: Advanced Members Posts: 870 Member No.: 2,887 Joined: Aug 31st 2004 Location: Update Profile | I noticed people also failed to mention how ISPs are cracking down on BT users by capping their bandwith, chargining them more for overusage, and suspending accounts (especially with people on EDUs). So users are forced to cap their upload speeds. For new files BT is great, for older files I use eMule or Shareaza with PeerGuardian running. I refuse to go back to Kazaa regardless the client that uses it. RIAA & MPAA are still scouring it and flooding it with fakes. Its not worth the risk. |

well you are missing out in tons of free software and games... after 3 years of bittorent experience and over one terra of files downloaded through bittorent i could safely say that bittorent is the best P2P software out there. and just like Kazaa, bittorents OLD and i mean OLD torrents files transfers are usually slow or out of order and therefore the torrent is removed from the server and new Kazaa clients are making it more difficult for K++ clients to connect to thier clients after the lawsuit by Sherman corp. against the makers of Kazaa lite K++ i have downloaded torrents files which are 2 years old and still over 100kb/sec and my top download speed using a bittorent client is about 400kb/sec rarely i run into a file i want and don't get it within 24 hours time EDIT: i can help you out will your slow speeds just tell me the type of connection and ISP name, type of hub and product number of hub, type of OS you are running and the names and numbers of firewalls you have protecting your computer. and also some of your computer specs as well This post has been edited by LAN EVO IV on Nov 18 2004, 08:16 PM | ||

IDW Senior Member Group: Members Posts: 82 Member No.: 4,349 Joined: Nov 18th 2004 Location: Update Profile | BitTorrent is not slow, and if it is, you only have yourself to blame. KLite is garbaggio, and anyone who advocates KLite is a moron. The only thing you can count on Klite for is popular music, but BT makes entire albums available in the first place so there really is no reason to devolve back into a KLite user. Realistically, my BT download speeds hover around 0-30kbps, and will sometimes surge up to 100-200 on my cable connection at home. As a non-seeder, a good rule of thumb is to leave your download open after it finishes until your share ratio is 1:1, meaning you've taken equivalent to what you've given. If you reside at a school or some other place with a lot of people on the same network, start a direct connect (DC++) hub. At my school we have around 50TB available at 1MB/sec give or take, and not to mention the privacy and safety a closed hub offers. |

IDW Senior Member Group: Members Posts: 80 Member No.: 4,737 Joined: Dec 25th 2004 Location: Update Profile | i'm not really a fan of BT myself.. it can be pretty slow compare to if I d/l from the site themself... honestly..... if these files were off websites.... i would be d/l at rates between 200-500 kb/s.... but the reason some people think BT is slow is pretty much obvious..... b/c the amount of seeds.... if people just don't close the box after they're done what they d/l for even an hour or 2... it helps... helps a lot... its the same exact concept as kazaa lite.... problem w/ kazaa lite is the many fakes you can get d/ling stuff.. and even somtimes.. what you download isn't what you wanted.... despite what the filename says.... i remember one time.. my friend d/l a video of DBZ and ended up getting some hentai stuff... pretty funny... so yea... both have their pros and cons... i use both... so i have no preference...
