bandwidth throttling

[nakiboy26]

OK, I've got green smiles, Nat is OK, settings and Up/down are OK tracker OK, but it just won't download above 3kbps, Left on all night downloaded 3% of a movie, yippie fu%@in yay! Can anyone tell me how u figure out if you're provider is throttling bandwidth? I've heard that mine may not give priority to P2P (apparently) which would really piss me off, because I've spent weeks on this bit torrent programme, Azereus

Oh I've also changed the port to 50500, portforwarded, checked firewalls, did a handstand while connecting...etc

Check your provider's homepage for details...you aren't downloading from college by any chance are you?

No just a Home User, I'm on their 256 Unlimited Plan, What does it mean if once you've connected to Azereus you can't surf the net anymore? I've set the Upload to 10kb, doesn't seem to make much difference

ure dowloads should go up to around 32 kbps

chances are u just have a bum torrent

few seeders or just damn slow ones

try one with a few hundred seeds and see what happens

silentscream sounds right.

[silentscream]

im on 8 times his speed and my up speed is 256kbits so i know it is 32 kbps

It has 300 seeds and 500 or so peers, can download about 30 - 35kbps on the web, could be that there's all slow ass downloaders I guess,

Cheers for the help!
