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

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?

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.

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

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?

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

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.

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.

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