Therin 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2011 I have a few questions about BitTorrent... What EXACTLY determines download speeds? I have high speed internet, and sometimes a torrent with a lot of seed will download really slow..? Any advice?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Joe_S Report post Posted March 5, 2011 I am a new user, but I had the same problem. I found that when I took off the upload limit on uploads, the upload volume increased and so did the download speed, and dramatically. It seems that if you don't upload you are considered a leecher and the trackers or whatever throttle back your upload speeds. It makes sense. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Firon 2 Report post Posted March 9, 2011 Generally, your download speeds get better as your upload goes higher, but it really depends on the torrent. You don't usually want to unlimit the upload completely, as it can choke your download. This is less of an issue since we implemented uTP, but it can still happen sometimes. A reasonable limit is 70-80% of the maximum. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Nemanja Report post Posted March 9, 2011 What can block bittorrent? It doesn't download any more... Can an antivirus block it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Simona Report post Posted March 18, 2011 Hello! Some help please!Even though my upload limit is set on 0 [=unlimited], it only uploads files around 1kb/s.

Guest C:// [betaexploiter] Report post Posted March 26, 2011 Um I tried downloading an md5 hash cracker, but my computer and external remote server was attacked by a Trojan. Anyway I got an anti virus program from bittorrent, and found out that if you stop other downloads, but actually make any kind of upload, then you download faster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
