    Default Can anyone tell me why this is so slow?

    Hello, I've tried using 3 different torrent downloading clients now (bittorent,utorent,transmission) and all my downloads average 20-50 kb/s. Im on Mac OSX 10.6.6. I know they should be faster because my one download has 102 seeds and 4 peers and that ones only averaging 60 kb/s. I've tested my ports and they are forwarded so i dont know whats wrong i believe i should be able to reach 1 mb/s? Need any more info about it just ask, appreciate any advice.

    Are you defragging anything, or is your hdd external?

    hey mike ..
    are u sure ports r forwarded ?..
    the client is not the prob .. its the tracker .. try same torrent from another tracker ..
    make sure u r not throttling the download speed .. in bandwidth options on ur client ..

    Test the bittorrent part of it on this: Glasnost: Test if your ISP is shaping your traffic

    Heya, I found this on a wiki. Bad ISPs - VuzeWiki Your ISP throttles bandwidth. It is listed under Canada>Rogers.

    There is nothing you can do short of getting a new ISP :(

    weird my client says its open and an online website said it was open too, but i tried a more legit looking website and it said it was closed. As for your last to things, the same torrent from a diffrent tracker is that just like the same file but download it from a diffrent .torrent file? and I have no idae how to check throttling speed. You gave me some things to look at, thanks. Bandersnatch - im looking at your website now.

    go to preferences on utorrent or transmission.. click bandwidth .. make it unlimited ..
    note on transmission the bottom bar of the app on the left there is a turtle button.. make sure its off ie black not blue ..

    Port forwarding or windows firewall/another firewall is my bet Mike.
    I had the same problem.
    Use Portforward to help you forward the ports correctly. Go to the link and find your router and follow the steps. You will find which port you are using in your torrent client, make sure "Random Port Every Time" isn't checked.
    I use this port checker. It seems the best one i have tried, and I trust it's results.

    Hope this helps.
