Hey Guyz..
I download movies, music from torrents etc.....
but even if i have 3000 to 4000 seeders i still get the download speed of 2kb average
the maximum reach is 12kb instead my downloading speed of an average is 60kb.
if i want to download this musics and movies on the high speed. What is it that i can do without a risk involvement.

I know one thing that i can do is port forwarding but i will would be opening my door to hackers by port forwarding
Open a port in your firewall/router. Usually it's port 6882 for torrents..
Yes, opening a port would increase the risk. But as long as there's no exploit or bug in the P2P software you're using it should be ok.
Buy the things legally :)
Anyway I dont know about the port forwarding thing.
Anyway I use utorrent.
well cider
I also use utorrent but its the free one
Sir Dice how will we do that on the router?Quote:

and is utorrent free version fine?
There are perfectly legal things to be downloaded using P2P..Quote:

And? Some movies/music can be legally distributed for free...Quote:

Hi nihil,
Nice link and information
i tried that out but it actually didnt worked for me speed was still the same and where as i have around 28(2946) seeders and 9(2031) peers so resources are not the problem for the speed to be low.
Port forwarding is other option but i guess for movies and music i should not risk my computer
I also use limewire but limewire has never given a issue of speed it has actually reached upto 90kb and above
what is the difference in this to P2P softwares?
how does limewire generate this speed and not other p2p softwares??
Hi KK,
I really don't know the answer for sure, but I am beginning to suspect that your ISP might be "throttling" bittorrents.
I think that Limewire might be the more traditional downloading mechanism, so isn't detected?
That is a pure guess, but I have been reading lately about ISPs taking action to restrict the use of bittorrents on their servers. As far as I know this is not an attempt to enforce copyright or anything, it is the usual bandwidth and greed scenario.
:)
Hi nihil,
as far as i know my ISP banns the website and he does not takes a min to ban any website
out of those famous websites are www.orkut.com is one of them
and if they really wanted to take action of limewire and utorrent they would have banned their websites also but they have not done yet which makes them semi legal.
even though torrent search engine www.torrentscan.com is banned here
but www.mininova.com works
again means mininova turns legal
now what is the actual scenario i just cannt figure out
Hi KK,
Neither can I :(Quote:

I feel that your ISP is throttling torrents rather than blocking content? but that doesn't make much sense either as he makes money out of selling bandwidth? so if people want more, you just sell them more?
Can you try something other than uTorrent just to check that hypothesis?
KK could try TOR to acess the banned Websites.. uT uses a number of ports.. the speed guide in uT will tell you which port your installation uses..
There is also a test in there.. Didn't you RTFM?..
as for Nihils comment.. give Azureus a run.. it is a respected BT client..free.. and clean.... Oonly issue I ever had was it being Java based you will take a performance hit on your PC.. and If you try it RTFM.. and be sure that your forwarding the correct port from your router..
There is a boatload of info on this site... http://www.slyck.com/
Gives you the top rated and any other info you need to compare P2P :cool:
Hey there
Thank you for those links. Ive always wandered why my torrents are so slow, thought it was just people seeding 1 kb.
Hey there i have found one thing which is !!!!
www.mininova.com is not a good site for downloading stuff like movies or heavy downloads
i used the same torrents on 3 different P2P like bittorrent / utorrent / fasttorrent / and Azureus finally the result was the same 1kb to 10kb average speed and it didnt even exceed to 15kb or higher where as lime wire was much more faster then we can expect it reached upto 67kb speed which lead me to download 3 gb in a day
I use to use HSS for accessing those websites but i have stopped using it as i now a days i dont really access those websitesQuote:

but i have never heard niether tried this TOR thing i went on googling that but this TOR websites are also banned here. how do that works anyways
well cider thanks for the support i thought i was the only one with this question
The Onion Router:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor_(anonymity_network)
It is an anonyminity system.
From what you are saying it looks like your ISP is throttling torrents?
