spazmire11 Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 well one thing to try would be to give yourself demilitarized internet acsess from your router, or just pluging yourself into your cable/dsl modemalso it could be the torrent, if there arent enough people it will be slow no matter what Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakeem5454 Posted December 30, 2005 Author Share Posted December 30, 2005 what do u mean by demilitarize internet access from your router?and ive tried some torrents on my dads computer and they turn out fast.. so it is something to do with my router.when i used the torrents with just my dsl modem they worked fine too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spazmire11 Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 generaly demilaterized internet acsess disables all of the routers firewall/port blockers for a specific computer, this helps speed up torrents.i would need to know what router you have to tell if it supports these feutures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more seeders there are, the faster your file will download. If there aren't many seeders, then you get slow speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there aren't many seeders, then you get slow speeds.That's not entirely accurate, it depends mostly on the peers/leechers. I have got 115 KB/s from a 0 seed torrent before and there were several peers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anoxan Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 what client are you using? your best bet is to tweak the network/torrent/connection settings in the client.in µTorrent, increasing the value in net.max_halfopen to 20, and patching your tcpip(.sys?) to something around 75 will help.also, this may just be a crazy theory, but try configuring your connection settings in multiples of 8say, like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
