sportsmad Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Hi there, I am very new to BitTorrent, I started using the system on Saturday evening. My downloads averaged between 160-199 kb/s. all of a sudden it dropped to between 5-20 kb/s. I checked all other downloads from other sited and the initial speed are still intact. It seems as though the problem lies solely with BitTorrent. Please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sportsmad Posted June 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 No, none at all. Quite Frustrating actually. as I indicated originally it went well then all off a sudden it changed. I do not know if I inadvertently changed a setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallstreetfool Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Check the Seeders and Leechers for the particular torrent you're trying to Download. Most of the times, if a torrent has like 2 Seeders and 100 Leechers, you get the slow speeds in the range of 100 KBs and stuff. Try to find a version of the Torrent that has a respectable amount of Seeders and Leechers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
