Paowoo Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Hi there! So my total download speed is around 2.8 MBPS (http://www.speedtest.net/result/3210593554.png) and sometimes it goes around 4 MBPS, but the problem is whenever I try to download from BitTorrent it only goes around 30 KBPS. Last time, I had no problems with BitTorrent, everything was smooth. It downloads around 360 KB/s but now, I'm literally crying from the slow download speed it gives. But when I try to download with google chrome or Orbit downloader, it goes around 200 KBPS. I've called my ISP and there seems to be nothing wrong. If there's anyone I call call right now, or a customer service hotline. Can you please post it here? I'd love to talk with you guys regarding this issue, and I know you guys can help me Thank you very much!

Harold Feit Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 What speeds do you get with torrents from http://www.slackware.com/getslack/torrents.php ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paowoo Posted January 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Hello Harold Feit! Thank you very much for the fast reply, you are amazing! Uhm, I'm not much of a very techy person, so can you please tell me what I should do with link that you shared? I don't understand one bit. Lol, I'm so sorry.

Harold Feit Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Stop ALL your other torrents (NOT pause)Pick one of the torrents from the page, start downloading, tell me what speeds you get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paowoo Posted January 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Hello Harold Feit! Again, thank you very much for the fast reply. It goes around 20 kb/s to 60 kb/s. Maximum was 65. Is there like any other way we could improve the download speed? Maybe from the preferences or something? :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Looks like your internet provider (or their upstream provider) is interfering with torrents.I've seen a lot of reports the past week coming from your internet provider with these sorts of problems. Nothing preferences could fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paowoo Posted January 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 I see. Thank you very much Harold Feit! You've been a good help. At least now, I could confirm it's with my ISP not some kind of internal error or something. If there's any survey to rate my experience with you, I'd be more than happy to give you a perfect score. Anyway, thank you. I'm gonna call my ISP but what should I ask them? Lol, should I ask them that why is it when I'm trying to download torrents, it's very slow compared to downloading non-torrent files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 I'm not sure exactly what to ask. Make sure the content you're using to test when discussing it with them is stuff you're allowed to torrent (slackware and other linux distributions are good ones to use to test) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
