Keeping this short....

Downloaded Bit Torrent and I find it:

1: Sh1t for searching for albums....and
2: At a total stand still or only getting 1kb a sec


WTF???

Where am I going wrong??

What are you using to search for albums?

Bit Torrent is best for new releases; it works really well when there's loads of people downloading.

If there's not many sharing, it doesn't work so well.
Due to it's nature, older, less popular files will have a lot less people sharing them.

I find Torrentspy reasonable for finding stuff, but it has to be relatively recent/well known/popular. No use typing in the name of an obscure 80s Norweigen black metal band.

It could also be your ISP that is port throttling. Who is your ISP?

1. Use better torrent sites.
2. Use Azureus.
3. Make these changes to the settings.

Indeed, P2P traffic is the bane of the ISPs, they hate it. I'm with PlusNet and they seem to restrict P2P traffic at peak times, but as soon as it hits midnight the speeds go through the roof.

And don't forget to open the applicable ports in your router/firewall etc. It's a sharing protocol. If your firewall stops you sharing you will always get pants speeds.

What sites are you using to get the torrents?

Try downloading something else or look elsewhere for the torrents, bit torrent is only good for recent releases that have lots of people downloading it (and so sharing it), for less common stuff it'll be slow.

There are lots of threads on BCF with good torrent sites listed so have a look for those, two of them being threads by you asking how to use Bit Torrent so maybe they'd be worth a look. Wink
