Okay, i installed BitComet!
It worked fine for some time, good speeds (aprox 25-26 kb/s)
i have actiontech home dsl modem 256 kb/s
but recently my speeds are awfuly slow! (max 15KB)
i have win xp (no service pack)
running kaspersky internet security 6.0
why is it so slow? damn! i tryed searching similar topic in the forum (i found them, but doesn’t help)!
torrents are healthy…
With a max download rate of 256kb/s, then 26kB/s is about as high as you can expect. 32kB/s is the max data transfer your modem will handle, but your downloading data will be somewhat less.
The most common reason for slow downloads is peers that run more torrents then their upload bandwidth can handle.
You might also want to cap your upload speed at 80% when downloading, if you havn’t already.
I also would only run one torrent at a time, to prevent becoming part of the problem

uhm, how do i do that!
Read our settings guide. I have a link to it in my sig.
i have win xp (no service pack)
That is a really bad idea. You should update to SP-2 as it fixes some major holes in the XP’s security.
i did that but nothing!
so what is the problem?
does Kaspersky Internet Security have firewall?
as for setting your max upload rate, there is a “global” setting which sets the total upload that bit comet can use for uploading data, but I prefer to set each torrent when I start them.
When the torrent opens, click on the “advanced” tab and you can set the max upload speed.
If torrent is already running, then “right click” and find the setting from the menu.

could you give me a healthy torrent to try out?
my speed is soo slow, still!
