| 368844 | 2005-07-07 11:28:00 | Actually, upload speed doesn't determine download speed. I can download entire torrents and only reach a 0.1 ratio on completing the download. Good example would be the 2nd episode of systm. I only uploaded 60 kb after downloading the 200 MB in 10 mins. I have a generous speed limit on uploads too (60kb/s). Little tidbit I noticed yesterday, apparently Opera has a BitTorrent client built in (www.theregister.co.uk). |

| 368846 | 2005-07-07 20:39:00 | Define reasonable. ~10-~20 depending on how many seeders and how many leechers. |

| 368847 | 2005-07-07 20:56:00 | So your saying you would get higher speeds with files that people are seeding alot? with less people downloading? And why is it that some of the trackers you have to register with them first, or else it doesn't let you download at all. | Sleepy (7202) | ||
| 368848 | 2005-07-07 22:02:00 | Bittorrent speeds depend on how fast you're uploading, you'll get faster download speeds if you share more :) Ive seen torrents reach 2mbps when I had it... All the time too :) I'd have to disagree with that statement. It also depends on the tracker. I upload it around 8Kbps (To keep my ratio on the tracker high enough), and download at 30Kbps (On a 256K connection). If I slow the upload down, then it still downloads at 30K. ALso on torrent files obtained from isohunt.com in which I download without being a registered user of the tracker, I get good speeds on that, without uploading anything to the tracker. Speed all depends on how many seeds there are for the file, and how many leechers there are taking the file. If you have 1000+ seeds, and only a few leechers, then you will get great speed. If you have ony a few seeds and 1000+ leechers, you will get bad speeds. But the beauty of torrent files, is that the ratio changes quickly to more seeders than leechers. All that is needed now is to have a distributed database, so you can search the entire network, and remove the need foe tracker servers. |

You still need to get the .torrent file from somewhere though. -Qyiet |

| 368850 | 2005-07-07 23:17:00 | Talking of torrents, Opera 8.02 tech preview which just came out, now supports Bittorrent file xfers. Don't know how good it is tho. my.opera.com |

All the time too :) So where am I going wrong? :confused: I use Bittorrent, and occasionally see speeds of 10-12Kb/s, but generally it sits in the 0-3Kb/s range. |

| 368852 | 2005-07-08 03:47:00 | I use the original Bittorent client. As for speeds, I upload at about 90KB/s and download aroung 150KB/s, often up to 300KB/s (Japanese ISP) so I don't think upload rate effects download. |
