Why does it download soooooo slow??

It takes like 3 days to fully download a movie. whats up with that? am i doing something wrong? :unsure:

Why don’t you explain what you were acutally doing. Also tell us your version number, any security software you’re using. Did you read our settings guide? What version of Windows you’re using? Do you have a router, if so have your forwarded your ports?

It says it’s going to take 29 hours to download a 170MB File. Am very confused.

This comment doesn’t belong here. If you want help, then you have given us no information for us to help. Plus, Dark Shroud just listed the minimum amount of info you must post for us to help you, and this is the best you can do???

WE CANNOT READ MINDS

now, go make a new topic ONLY if you are willing to post the correct info.

Suspect

Bitcomet is downloading really slow.

OS: windows XP

Router:3Com Officeconnect 3CRWER100-75 wireless

version: BitComet 0.70

Security software: nope :slight_smile:

I have opened ports in the Windows firewall. I have opened up ports in the router as well. Still its only 30kB/s

Please help me :blink: and notice I actually gave you some details :smiley:

Saknoto, please make a new thread. Are we talking to taylor, 97mde, or you here? That gets extremely confusing very quickly. So rather than jumping into the middle of someone else’s question, start one of your own, eh?

Since there is no specific info about anybody’s setup I will give a general answer

Go through the settings guide (link in my sig) and make sure you’re using Bitcomet v0.70

The keys to fast downloads are:

Having an open listening port

Capping your uploads to about 80%

Downloading torrents that have lots of available bandwidth

Using an ISP that doesnt block or throttle BT

Generally, available bandwidth is a function of the seed/leech ratio but there are other factors

Here is a torrent with lots of available bandwidth, try it and if it’s fast then the problem is the torrents you’re downloading

Yes…I’m having the same problem!!!

Do you know by now why? I think I’m doing something wrong and don’t know how it works.
