    Default how to make torrents d/l faster

    k I have tried port forwarding and that didn't work, and i have never been able to download at more then 50-60. i have downloaded small files at like 120, but thats like 150mb files.

    i am d/ling at 48.7kb/s right now, and thats pretty good for me. so to download it will be 27 hours total time, there is 142 seeds, 1101 peers.

    I have used bit comet utorrent and am currently using azureus to d/l i get faster d/l's with azureus.

    I am using shaw, not extreme, but everything else i do is pretty fast. i am on a laptop with wireless (linksys) but even my desktop pc is at the same rate. i have disabled upnp with no success, the re-enabled it. changed ports and everything.

    I am getting very frustrated, I have learned to deal with waiting sometimes 2 days but it is getting rediculous, while some people d/l at 700kb's, starting to get angry haha.

    Any idea's would be awesome.

    you may have all of those seeds but they could all be a capped at 5k. MAKE SURE your ports are correctly forwarded .. maybe use port detective to make sure they are open. Make sure your BT client is using the port(s) you have forwarded. It should not matter what client you use, either the BW is there or it isn't.
    Wherever you go there you are

    Use BitComet and change the settings to encrypt the packet headers.

    Find your router on the list and it will walk you through it. You might have missed something small.

    I'm using Azureus. Just connect to your router and pick a random port to open up Name it torrent or something. Then set your torrent client to download on that port. Expect time-out's though because a lot of info is going through your rrouter
