Speed Solution

Say you have adsl 256kb connection. Take that 256 and divide it by 8 which is 32. So you download speed is 32 kB per sec. Well that is your max anyway. Anyway, you will never tap your max dl speed so take a few Bs off. And most important of all, is how many seeders you have of course. So if anyone dling at 20-28 kB for a 256kb adsl connection, that is pretty good. Well this isn't a solution but very usefull info for those who don't know.

how about 512kbs?

Hi there, i'm a beginner of this bitComet. I'm sharing my 512k bandwidth with my housemate. Normally when they are not online, my download speed will be at 45kb/s. But when the use KAZAA LIGHT, my download speed is droped to between 0-10kb/s . It is terribly slow. And i wonder the KAZAA is stealing away my bandwidth. Is it TRUE???? Thanks...

Well ya.

Number 1, they are downloading so this is gonna make you share the downspeed bandwidth with them.

Number 2, they are also probably sharing music back, so anyone downloading from them/your network is causing your upspeed bandwidth to get used as well.

if you are using windows which has QOS (quality of service) installed (XP has it defaultky on) .. network and internet programs get more "equal" (not really so equal) bandwidth on same computer. I have seen than MSN messenger can lower your download from 40k/s -> 10k/s

Hi, i'm also new to bitcomet. I'm also sharing a 512k with my housemate. But even ehen they're not online, my download speed rarely exceeds 5 kb/s. Can anyone tell me what's the problem?

Are you sure they are not online? Just because they aren't in front of the pc, doesn't mean they didn't leave some app using the net loaded such as limewire or kazaa...

I'm using a 1.5MB alone,but how come my downloading speed only have 3x-4xKB/s. THX

well seeders are important yea but not when they set their ul limit to very very low

Hello there. This speed problem with bittorrent is troubling me for some time now. I am looking for a solution...
I have read a lot of time and i do understand the way bt works. i know about the upload thing and also about firewall port forwading etc. But still it doesnt work!!!
even if a tracker has 70 SEEDERS and i am connected to all of them i cannot get more than 20kb/s. It is like my pc CANNOT hold to connections to users when the speed gets about there. It is very strange. I was wondering if this could be a hardware problem. Maybe a provider problem (although some people are getting high speeds).

Any help plz????????

Hi there

I have a 1,500kbps adsl for my internet connection. Everytime i want to download stuff using bitcomet, how come my download speed is always between 0kb/s to 5kb/s? It's damn slow n i'm getting sick of it. I've friends who have slower speed connection but their download speed is far much faster than mine. Why is this so? (I do not share my computer with anyone else.)

Can anyone help me resolve this problem?? Thanks a lot!!

The problem on this is mostly the UPLOAD bandwirth.

If you fill your complete UL bandwidth with data (by configuring too much bandwidth) your BT clint has no more spare bandwidth to return the ACKs (acknoledgdes ) to the other side. But this ones are needed to make to other one know that you got his package without errors. If theese ACKs does not reach the seeder right in time, he asumes that your bandwidth is too slow, and so he reduces his transmissions. Which will result n slow transfers on your site.

as i mentioned before i considered this BUT it's not the problem.
Thnx
