I had good speed around 100kbs via torrent download. I'm on a 4.5 meg cable at work.



100kbs is hardly a good speed for my 10Mb cable. For sure, when I use
bittorrent to download other stuff (like knoppix :) ) most often I can
max out to 800kbs.

Something is really wrong with this suse torrents.

im not 100% sure its the torrents, its the leechers, many have their
upload speeds throttled back maybe thinking that their download speed
will increase? thats why its so slow. ive got 29 seeders and 90
leechers right now. avg dl speed 24kbs!!? pathetic on a 5meg cable line
whereas in other situations where the seeders are equal or greater than
the leechers I have great speeds..... everyone please seed!!!, and if
you are in a situation where you can not limit upload speeds please do
so.... when you retire for the night maybe?

I've been running with a 50KB/sec upload throttle for several hours now.

My download average is 60KB/sec (600kb/sec) and my upload is 42KB/sec
(420kb/sec). Not a great download, but this is at the office and I
won't touch this until next week. The estimate is it will be done in
15 hours (DVD). I'll leave it seeding all weekend.

BTW: 87 leachers, but that is really a lie. I only have 2 upload
channels enabled, so when I give someone one of the 2 channels, they
get a good upload speed out of me. I think all the possible seeders /
leachers just make it hard for the software to figure out which peer
is useful to download from. The first 15-30 minutes it seemed to
spend all its time trying really slow peers, then it started ramping
up as it found some good high-speed peers.

My top scoring peer is actually a leacher as well. I have downloaded
236 MB from him and I have sent him 185 MB. We're both about 20%
complete so I guess eventually we
ll have everything the other has and say goodbye.

FYI: I'm using ktorrent and you can click on peers at the bottom then
click on upload slot (etc.) to see how many people are actually
uploading from you and how much they have uploaded.
