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.

Bitcomet is downloading really slow.

OS: windows XP

Router:3Com Officeconnect 3CRWER100-75 wireless

version: BitComet 0.70

Security software: nope :)

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 :D

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:

  1. Having an open listening port
  2. Capping your uploads to about 80%
  3. Downloading torrents that have lots of available bandwidth
  4. 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

Janke, , please make a new thread. Are we talking to kc20, taylor, 97mde, Saknoto 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?

Fifth one, not one of whom provided any info at all, so I'm locking this thread.
