Hi dudes out there, I'm experiencing slow download speed with utorrent. Looks like 100 mbps is a whole lot of crap because my download speed rarely gets above 30kbps. Total waste of money wouldn't you agree? I'm currently WRT610n and the motorola modem provided by Starhub.

Tried the suggestion in the forum to improve torrent download speed. Seems like it's not working. Can some kind souls please help? Appreciate it.

Depends on what torrent trackers you use....
also depends on how many peers/seed you are connected to..

Oh. What's a torrent tracker? Any suggestion on the settings i should use in order to experience a faster download speed? Thanks for the reply by the way.

You look at the availability first. A 0.725 rating as well as a huge gap of red bar means the torrent will never proceed because none of the users have the segmented file. A 6 seed in swarm is possibly fake rating and can mean a delayed & dying OR simply a honeypot torrent.

nah, usually a incomplete fresh torrent will have high download rate. because everyone is waiting eagerly to download them. the torrent is seeded by "old bird" and if you do check, the file size is not small...trust me, I know what I'm downloading and what kind of leeching/seeder are them.

so instead of thinking the torrent is at fault or I'm noob, why not take the screenshot as FYI?

*hint*

this is not the ONLY torrent that have suxing download speed.

There is NO seed. period
The swarm only has a 75% part of the total file combined, how to even complete the download?

If possible, time for you to look for an alternative supplier

start using private trackers and stop using public trackers.

public tracker ==> 1000 leechers, 100 seeders, download speed = 10KB/s

private tracker (revolutionTT) ==> 1000 seeders, 100 leechers, download speed = 1.5MB/s

on my MOL premium.

for lobangs on invites to rare private trackers can PM me.

do you really know how BT work?

the availability is 75% because I didn't connected to the seed but thats beside the point. this isn't about seed and definitely NOT about completing the file! check how much I have downloaded and the file availability, then the download rate, plus the upload rate.

do I have to explain everything in minute details?

This is where your torrent problem lies at the point of your screenshot.
A 650mb file isnt exactly large, and if one upload it well, it can be done before a day

While it is possible to complete the download of file(that is provided the missing parts of the file is somehow back in swarm by the slow uploader), at the point in time, it is not possible. Because just like my example, none of the peers besides the original seed has the file.

Besides, you don't find strange the only seed is not connectible in the first place? This will cause the torrent to stagnant.

Well, it IS the swarm problem no matter how you see it. Contributer of the torrent (main seed) not around, no other seeds either. Lousy upload by other kiam siap peers.

You're best to look for an alternative torrent instead.

1)how do you know the file is 650MB? from my upload rate? obviously you didn't read my post carefully before you reply. the downloaded data was 165MB and the downloaded percentage is 6.4%, do you own maths.

2)this is a fresh or new torrent, the seeder probably using superseed/initial seeder mode. most leecher will not see the seeder but that won't affect the download rate--it will be depends on the seeders upload speed. this is NOT old/dead torrent that individual leecher only have a portion and need everyone's effort to complete the file.

I really hate explaining myself again and again when the info is RIGHT THERE in my 1st post or available easily in the web. know the stuff first before you "preach". if you want to think MOL is not to be blame, by all means, but at least respect others opinion.

heres another torrent from the same forum, the same issue with no seeder insight. lousy swarm? kiam siap peers? see their download speed.

1)I agree with you on the wrong size value. I mistook it badly.

2)Have u see the health ratio to be rated as 100% yet? If you connect to Peer A, B, C, D. You have 4 availability for part 1 to download from, two for 2, one for 4 & 5. Ultimately, your dl will come to a standstill because no one has part number 3. Thats where a reseed request is needed, hopefully someone with 100% parts come back to share around. The only seed around is probably having port forwarding issue.

The point where I want to share is this, no one has a 100% full parts around. If a file proves too hard to dl, some ppl will give less priority to the particular torrent for something else first, the speed transfer rate do go down in this case. Hence you should pay less attention to this file for awhile or drop it altogether if no seed is around :)

3) Your example now is doing slightly better. You wan to provide the torrent file as well to test on a separate connection since im not on MOL? PS: Peer dl rate is not always reportedly correct for some reason. I emulated this a few times on my 2 PC already.
