Slow Speeds. Followed your Guide, didnt help.

Post by Kinkade »

I am unable to achieve speeds greater then about 280 Kbps. My internet is rated for over 2 MBps(proof Image)

I have tried all kinds of trackers and files from various sites and it makes no difference. I also tried turning off UPnP. What can I do to fix this?

Also I am on a Mac running 10.6. I have a Airport extreme with 802.11n and a speedstreem 5360 modem.

I found this handy little questionnaire on your site, and took the liberty of answering it.

1. Do you have any per-torrent or global speed limits set?
unlimited download. 75 kbps upload
2. What are your global and per-torrent peer limits?
200 per torrent
800 global
3. How many seeds and peers does the `Peers' tab say there are in the swarm?
1790
4. How long ago does the `Tracker' tab say the last announce and scrape results were?
3 minutes ago
5. In the `Tracker' tab's list of trackers, how many Tiers are there, and how many trackers are listed for each tier?
6. one per tier
6. How many peers are you connected to?
aprox 200
7. Has your torrent finished downloading?
no
8. If you're still downloading, do any of the connected peers have a higher "completed" percentage than you?
yes. many are finished
9. Is your incoming peer port open or closed?
open

Maybe your ISP throttles bittorrent traffic?

I used a google tool to check to see if my isp throttles. It ran a test simulating a bit torrent and it successfully got speeds of over 2 MBps.

Also I am on a Mac running 10.6. I have a Airport extreme with 802.11n and a speedstreem 5360 modem.

do you have access to any private trackers, where the speeds will definitely be maxed out..... maybe the torrents you are downloading just aren't being seeded very well?

Tried private tracker. Picked file with crap load of seeders. Same result. This has been a consistent problem for a while now.

Just a small point I'd like to make. It says you are rated to download at 2.5 Mb/s instead of MB/s. and 2.5Mb/s is about 312KB/s.
