MrRockliffe Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 I know you probably get loads and loads of of these, but I'm experiencing really slow speeds when downloading torrents. I've tried downloading torrents from slackware, and I get around 7MB down (MegaByte, just to confirm). However, anything else gets me speeds well under 4, normally around 2.5 I'm with BT on their 76 down package, and my father is on their 38 down package and with the same file, he's getting quicker speeds than me (both speeds are Megabit) It's really strange and I don't know how to overcome this - any ideas?

Harold Feit Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 It's probably torrent specific at this point, as slackware gives you your connection's rated speed for download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRockliffe Posted November 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Why does it happen with EVERY torrent I try and download (except slackware, as previously mentioned)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Those torrents are likely more demand-heavy than supply heavy and would require a lot of adjustments to your own settings to find the sweet spot for optimum speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRockliffe Posted November 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Sorry for the late reply. Thanks for the help! It's a pain in the rear end when I'm trying to download Windows 8 at the moment as the microsoft store is also slow for downloading it. Managed to resolve the problem by port forwarding, so if anyone is also having problems, then I recommend they do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
