| 513723 | 2007-01-07 21:17:00 | Hi, I got BB like a few weeks ago .. Are these what is expected? I am on the River Plan (FS/128k 6GB of data). About $40. Browser downloads at 60kb/sec Download accelerator at 260kb/sec (same site as above). Line tested out with link by Xnet at 1.97Mbit (Telecom is working on it I was advised). Torrent or P2P for the odd tv show I missed, the best was avg of 10kb/sec. Most times I get 5kb/sec and then it may climb up to like 10. One time I got up to 60kb/sec and then a few hours later I resumed, it dropped to 10kb/sec. Ports are forwarded and stuff on the router after consulting a guide. I have reading and pple in NZ appears to obtain 30kb or even 100kbs. |

| 513724 | 2007-01-07 22:58:00 | I was downloading something this morning with uTorrent and it was coming down at about 120KB/s. I am on the same plan with Xnet but a speed test for my line gives about 4.5Mbit. Most of the time torrents will download at about 30-40KB/s. What program are you using for your torrents? |

| 513725 | 2007-01-08 02:15:00 | I am using Bit Comet, have just switched to uTorret because some searchers (trackers) does not support Bit Comet. I have used a v good searcher and hit speeds up to 200KB/s. I have sort of used searchers from sites off this guy's link and they've been v slow. Such as isohunt and torrentreactor. I used Aradi and been v fast, I tried Supertorrent but cannot registered due to a bug. Have you had good speeds without these "super" sites? Mines sorta been avg around 5-10KB/s. Just not sure on the international series tv shows. May just join one of the forums around .... |

| 513726 | 2007-01-08 02:45:00 | On the same plan with Xnet, I was regularly hitting ~ 190KBps on a public tracker just yesterday, and averaging about 120KBps. NZADSL reported my line speed at about 4.5Mbit. Torrent speeds seem to depend on a number of factors - line speed is only one of them. With public trackers, don't expect much, and be pleasantly surprised (as I was), when they return respectable speeds... |

| 513727 | 2007-01-08 03:42:00 | I only use public trackers. Don't know any private ones or need an invite to one :annoyed: | CYaBro (73) | ||
| 513728 | 2007-01-08 04:22:00 | The problem with private trackers is that unless you are downloading really new stuff, there isn't enough demand to be able to upload enough to download something else. | hcl (10925) | ||
| 513729 | 2007-01-08 07:11:00 | You really shouldn't be talking about private trackers etc on this site. If we were allowed to talk about stuff like that, I would mention one called dididave, but i better not post the link. It's a .com site though, if that's any help. | roddy_boy (4115) | ||
