hello,

you might be able to tell i don't use the forums very much. xD; but i had a question.

is there any reason why torrent downloading would slow down all of a sudden? it used to take me 20 minutes to dowload something like a PV, and a few hours to download a concert. all of a sudden, trying to download the Sexy 8 Beat concert it told me it was going to take 25 days!! i was connected to 13 seeders, it said.

i tried changing ports and all sorts of stuff, but i gave up and decided to use a new program. i was using azureus before (because i like that it lets me choose which files to download from a torrent if i don't want them all), so it's my preferred program but if it's going to start taking a week to download 600mb, i guess i'm willing to switch (if it's really the program that's the problem, however, i don't know how it could change so drastically from one day to another)!

i'm on a mac. i'm using a torrent downloader called transmission now and it's definitely going faster, though not as fast as i used to be able to download. could it really have been azureus' fault, or is there any other reason why my downloads would slow down so drastically? i seed every day, so i can't imagine that it would be anything like that.

@iceymoon: Hehe First clue 'Torrents' it won't give you consistant speeds... Torrents relies on teh Seeders and Leechers and depending on who you connect to sort of 'determines' yours speeds..

Here are some scenarios to give you a sense.

(1) Seeder / (250) Leechers
If you are connected to lets say...
(0) Seeder / 1 (250) Then I would just assume that the speeds will be slow as that other Leecher might not have dl'ed anything..

And it is highly possible to have..

20(20) / 0 (100)
ANd have a speed of under 1kb as those seeders might have an extremely slow Upload speed.

In conclusion it depends on who you are connected to (YOu can't pick {Incase you'd think you can}) that determines your speeds so it fluctuates...

When directly downloading off Hosts it depends on the Hoster + traffic.. If Hoster is fast and there is no traffic then your speeds should reach max.. If Hoster is fast and there is a lot of traffic (Many people downloading) then you'll get slow speeds.

Hope that helps in one way or another hehe too busy to go in-depth.

thank you. ^^ a thought like that did cross my mind, however i couldn't think why all of a sudden every file i downloaded was going painfully slow. if it were the case of my seeders having slow connections, then i would think that some of my files would be slow, while others more normal.

but if there is really no other reason why the torrents i've been downloading have gone by more slowly, then i guess that has to be the reason. :D in any case, switching to transmission has been doing me well so far! it finished downloading sexy 8 beat for me in 4 hours, and now that i've loaded my 600mb file, it says it will take 8 minutes when azureus was ETA-ing 6 days. xD any solution is a good solution, i suppose!

I noticed that I needed to change the adress of the announce url to https instead of http, but Utorrent still gives me an error now.
It states that there occurred an error in the secure channel support and I dont know what this means.
Can someone please help me with it? .

It seems that this issue was addressed already...somewhere...but I cannot seem to find a direct answer, so ill ask again...

Ive recently encountered a problem with a bunch of my uploads with a variation of the error message saying "Connection Error (FileNotFoundException:http://www.hello-online.org/announce.php?passkey=..." Im guessing it has something to do with the torrent files because the majority of of the files with this problem are older downloads. If it helps, I can tell you that I'm currently using azureus as my dl client.

Solutions will be greatly appreciated...

I'm not really familiar with Azureus, but according to your error I'd guess you'd need to update your torrents. The new tracker announce should be http://tracker.hello...number/announce

Just browse the tracker for the torrent and redownload it. Recheck the files in Azureus and it should start up once again.

PS: Might wanna remove your passkey number in your post.

I have a question that I'm sure the experts can answer.

I use uTorrent 1.6.1, and I find that I have no problem downloading, in fact if there are enough feeders, I can reach speeds of 1,200 Kb/sec, the problem is, that no matter what speed I'm downloading, whether it be 1,200 Kb/sec down to 2 Kb/sec, the rest of the internet runs so much slower than normal. Using a web browser (Internet Explorer or Firefox), is excruciatingly slow.

I'm using Windows by the way.

Does anyone know why this is happening, and how I can fix it?

Thanks,
D-R

It's your upload speed that causes your internet browsing to bog down. Just make sure your upload isn't on unlimited or else it will literally take it all. Generally you want to cap your upload speed to 80% of its maximum while downloading then do unlimited while pure seeding. Of course if you want to internet surf then you still need to cap it to something reasonable while pure seeding.

Since yesterday : "8 hour delay"

but it hasn´t change since yesterday, and I sharing one .Iso

[SacredCultivator]

@kozi vampire: You said you are currently sharing/seeding an ISO? Cause your stats show nothing which can already mean a problem with your Router/Port Forwarding...

Did H!O ban Bit Tornado recently or something? I suddenly can't use Bit Tornado to connect to any H!O torrents, and if I do, they download at 2-10 KB/s max as opposed to my normal 600 KB/s. And uploading is stuck at 5 KB/s while my norm. is 80-90 KB/s. =\ I downloaded uTorrents and everything seems to be working now, but I'm just curious if something happened to Bit Tornado.

You sure your isp wasn't just throttling p2p files? That is the main culprit most of the time.

[LvB]

I guess it's possible that AT&T is trying to screw with me since my internet went haywire a week ago. But why would uTorrent work as opposed to Bit Tornado? Ah well, I'm using uTorrent now and I find it a lot better. So maybe it was a sign from God telling me to change torrent clients..

[SacredCultivator]

@IxXDEATHXxI: This is a Private Tracker so DHT isn't allowed =P That is normal.

And you have to redownload the Torrent as the hostname not found because your Tracker doesn't have a passkey which is the reason for that I think.

So just redownload the torrent and wait maybe another 16h and it should then work.
