wow if your capping your upload at 7-8 kb/s then i must be doing something wrong to cap mine at 150-160 kb/s. i just wish i can download at my max speed or get my return of 150-160 kb/s back
bittornado came out a while ago. I'm using the original bittorrent client and its pretty good now. I like that it doesn't lag my computer when its on. If BitTyrant won't slow down my computer, I'll give it a try.
bit tornado is pretty fast.. but I'll stick with Bit Comet until they can come with something more stable
Im not critising you, but I do agree to with what you said about seeding afterwards thats if people seed afterwards but generally from what I seen and experienced the main reason people cap their speeds is because they want to finish the d/l quickly and leave without seeding afterwards so it generally doesnt happen <_< but im not saying capping your speeds is wrong to a certain degree capping it down to 5-10% your max upload speeds helps with your max download speed but i was directing my comment to the ppl who d/l at like say 200kb/s and upload at 5kb/s capping it that way is greedy and will effect others if loads do it like this and from what you said above i dont understand by getting a max upload speed by capping it (since your capping it you will get the speed that its capped at not the full), you get a max upload speed from your line just by leaving it as it is and it (bitcomet) uploads at full providing that there are peers to recieve
yea there is.. it sucks lol ... hmm i should try this out because my azureus is really slow >< anyone tried this? ..any good?
I have pretty shitty cable internet...-noclue But, generally capping upload speeds does reduce peoples download. In general. Then there are the few exceptions...me
I don' t think that this new userclient will improve your download speed that much. A friend of mine just came from hong kong and he usually had good downloadspeed while downloading torrents from http://forum.p2pzone.org. But when he came to the Netherlands, his download speed wont go faster then...50kbps, maybe more, with a 20Mbps Internet connection. So that is with torrents that are hosted in China or in Hong Kong (i guess). I dont know this for sure, but we always had low download speed, especially with TVB series and chinese movies. I really hope that more chinese people will use usenet to share and download. 'cos the downloadspeed is awsome!
I'll give this a try, if it doesn't perform up to expectations, I'll go back to bitcomet. Thanks for the info.
