BitComet very slow

[saatvik]

Hi,

I have been using BitComet for a long time and I have been getting very good dowload speeds like 32 kilobytes kbps (I have a 256\64kbps (dl\ul) ADSL connection. But I have noticed that it doesn't perform too well in large swarms (over 200 peers). It gives download speeds from 1-15 kilobytes per second. I am not behind a router, so port forwarding is not the problem.

Although I am behind a software firewall (Sygate), all BT ports are open. The listening port is not in 688x range.

I have also noticed that the more the peers the slower the dload speeds. Two torrents which are currently running very slow are abc and xyz [edit]removed. Other peers are downloading at over 200 kilobytes per second.

Please help!!!

Thanks

try limiting your upload speed to 4-5kB/s

[saatvik]

i've tried 6 kb upload but it doesn't do any good
i'll try 4-5 today

[saatvik]

hmm, i'm dloading abc at 50 KBps right now (max peers - 44 max seeds - 9)
but when i try dloading xyz go down to to 5-15 KBps (max seeds - 33 max peers - 244)

no names please, BT has built in leech protection, so you're lucky if you are able to download faster then you upload. especially on torrents with more peers then seeds

[.:sp00ky:.]

you need to limit the amount of connections,too many can (theirs a word i can't think of which should go here) umm fuck your connection try limiting it to 50-60 that should do the trick.

i tried all the different possible combinations as suggested in this thread

reducing max uload speed reduces my download speed from 6 KBps to 2KBps

reducing max connections has no effect (i tried values b/w 25 and 60)

I highly doubt that program could do any real good.
