Yeah those stats make me angry, because they never update properly.

My old uTorrent stats before the new HD were somewhere in the 150GB range for downloaded, and about 130GB uploaded. And probably 75% of that -was- for Demonoid. I am sick of uploading on Demonoid though when their stats never update, so I've started using pirate bay almost exclusively now.

Does your modem ever get a chance to breathe?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

It's a 100mbit seedbox since my network in the flat blocks all torrent activity, encrypted, proxyed, anything. Just have to FTP it to my PC.

Still, I was surprised to close to 2TB of download, especially considering it's a games only tracker :p

I try to upload as little as possible because my ISP fucking sucks and they capped my uploading to like 6 k/s last year because I was "uploading too much". I had to call them and go through a whole process and sign some letter for them to uncap me.

I'm sick of fucking torrents though the speeds are always crap, I'm sure its something to do with me not having the right ports open or something but I've no idea how any of that works and it infuriates me seeing people saying in the comments bit that they have it at 200k/sec when I'm plodding along at like 12k/sec

[#BROKEN Hasney]

What ISP you on and what torrent client do you use Ogen?

[Ogen]

Eircom and BitLord

[Ogen]

No problem with changing from BitLord if someone can give me step by step on how to get the best speeds from another client./

[El Fangel]

Get uTorrent bro, had a 500kb/sec download of Left 4 Dead last night.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

http://www.utorrent.com/

Get that.

Right, now first thing is the speed guide. If it doesn't auto-start on first run, then go to "Options" menu and then "Speed Guide".

Click "Test if port is forwarded correctly". If it is, you'll get a webpage saying OK. If not, it will have a link to a site that guides you on opening ports.

If the port is open and you're still getting shite speeds, try enabling encryption. TO do this, go to the "Options" menu again and click "Preferences".

On the pop-up box, you'll have options on the left. Click "BitTorrent". At the bottom you'll see "Protocol Encryption", change it to "Enabled" and wait a while. If it still hasn't sped up, try "Forced" and/or unchecking "Allow incoming legacy connections". (Try only if speeds are defiantly slower as this could slow it down even further).

I did a search and I can't find anything about Eircom slowing down torrents yet, some people can't get them working at all though so you might be one of the lucky ones.

[Ogen]

Right shall move to uTorrent when I'm done downloading every 24 season I presume it won't be possible to shift the program downloading the torrent halfway through?

Not entirely sure about that. I dont know if you can edit what your downloading mid-download. However if it shows what episodes you have, you could just edit the uTorrent download to not include the ones you already have and send tehm to the same destination folder.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Yeah, just point the torrent at where you were downloading it to and it will resume it

Who do you use for the seedbox, and can you VPN into it, then FTP your stuff down? :D

[#BROKEN Hasney]

http://www.kimsufi.co.uk/

The cheapest one. 100mbit connection and no bandwidth limit.

You can do all the above (although I prefer to SFTP into it and use Putty to admin it, but you can throw Windows on there if it's more your "thang"), just got torrentflux installed on it and a couple of accounts for some buddies who help with the cost.

I would give you a spot, but I reckon you're a power user like me so with two of us we could bring it down with torrents :p

Is that like your own server?

[Ogen]

Also uTorrent doesn't seem to want to resume my torrent well it will keep all the files already downloaded but anything not 100% is being reset so shall have to wait a while to test it yet, that port wasn't open mind and the instructions confused the bejayus out of me so shall have to look into that again.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Ja, super-fast server getting all my torrents for me

[RoXer]

I'm so glad I got to compare my stats with other Demonoid members to see where I rank!

Only can I find this on the tech forum.

All hail the tech forum!

Could I just keep hitting random port until I get one that's open? It looks like a lot of work to make my current one open. :(

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Try using this

Should tell you which ports are currently open

I'm thinking of getting a cheap USB wifi adapter to leech off my neighbor when I want to download torrents.

[G]

whoa whoa whoa



I'm downloading a torrent now at 170kbs. And this one has much less seeders than the ones where I get around 10kbs. I'm talking 12 seeders as opposed to 3000 seeders. How does that work out?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Loads of reasons. Sounds to me like you need to up your number of half-open connections.

Another reason could be lots of leechers. The swarm works by sending data to the person who uploads the fastest so if you set up your torrent client to upload really slow on a highly seeded/leeched torrent, you won't get a good speed.

[G]

Okay I have turned over a new leaf. Raised the upload cap from 1kb to 5kb. Maybe that'll help.

[G]

I think I have the problem narrowed down. My connection goes to a crawl and halts all other internet usage when I download a torrent with high seed numbers, I guess because I'm technically connecting with all the thousands of them. Is there a way to cut the seed number down to something much smaller, say in the 2 digit range?

[Requiem]

There should be an option in uTorrent to limit how many you connect to.

[G]

It was already set at 200. :(

OMG I actually went through all of that and opened the port Utorrent is using. Took like 40 minutes with having to set up a static ip. Previously, I had my cable modem hooked straight to the computer and it was downloading at great speeds, as the port was opened. But I bought a new router 2 days ago and the port was closed and downloading at shit speeds. I hope this helps. :(

[G]

Yes, the speed has already tripled the average I was getting through last night.
