I tried the Opera 9 which included a BT client. Bad choice. Always crashes when I resumed download.

Why does it seems that my Bitcomet is holding back or limiting my download speed
the display speed and the actual speed is different.

check ur limit speed in preferences

damn....bittorent download is really geting slow nowadays...use bitcomet n utorrent with the same result, my ares is geting much better speed, but lots of file i canot get

something wrong with my connection? utorrent show some results but not very promissing.....

I have this problem also. Is uTorrent any better?

Another question. My hdd is almost full and I want to transfer all my torrent downloads to the secondary hdd so that I can continue the download or seeding. How to do it?

just reopen the torrent file into the bittorrent client. then, select the new location where you stored the file.

I see. Will try it out once I got the new hdd. Thanks.

hi guys im using streamyx 1MB and im also using bitcomet. but the maximum i get is just up to 10 or 11kb/s. i heard about ppl gettin up to 50 or even 100. im using a 3com router. is it becoz of my connection or is there anything i should reconfigure. Can anyone help. thanks.

i mean maximum download speed i get is 10 or 11kb/s

Portforward.com - Check out how to do portforwarding here
since you said you're using router, i think you haven't portforward.

maybe there's too few seeders? there are many possibilities.

thnx ill try doing so. anyways im using bitcomet 0.57...is this version too old coz i heard it was stable. Is it recommended that i dl the latest version or some other torrent clients?

that version dun have protocol encryption, not sure will affect your speed or not, last time used that to bypass streamyx traffic shaping
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=253074&hl=bypass

the latest version of bitcomet have transfer encryption.

for me i personally prefer utorrent as it is light weight ( doesn't consume too much memory )

and as long as your settings/port forward/ etc you do it correctly then your speed will hv no problems i suppose.

refer to this thread for more guides and helps if you need

errm i port forwarded my router but im not sure i did it right coz the speed is more or less the same. slow. im using a 3com wireless with a usb adapter. in the "cmd" box, i only have 1 DNS server but the guide in portforward.com shows 2. how am i suppose to know the other? or can i just enter 1 DNS server in TCP/IP properties?

DNS server should be
202.188.0.133
202.188.1.5

not very sure, confirm from other ppl 1st

however,
go to http://canyouseeme.org/ to check whether you port forwarded correctly or not.
make sure you follow the steps of portforward.com correctly

right thats the dns ip that im using now also. and i checked in canyouseeme.org and my port is opened. but something is wrong somewhere coz i get local downloads not the remote downloads.

Any suggestion on which bittorent clients is best for use other than Bitcomet and Bitlord? (currently used)

Previously used Azureus but I found out that sometimes my downloads doesn't run. When I change to Bitcomet and Bitlord, it seems ok. Plus Azureus doesn't provide downloading by episodes on season torrent file. Or do I need to change port for better speed?

About utorrent, is it great? Can it download separately episode by episode on season torrent file? Does it resume to download after restart?

from the screen shoot you provided

if you have done your port-forward correctly..should be able to get mix result which is remote and local.

do you use any firewall beside the windows firewall ? if so...maybe your own firewall is giving this trouble

i turned off my default windows firewall, i have spyware doctor and norton 2006. those count as firewalls too? the picture below is from my router's main page. i have no idea what to do there.

i suggest utorrent.

yes, you can select invidual file in the torrent just like bitcomet. and yes again, it support resume after restart.


maybe norton 2006. some antivirus software come with firewall if im not mistaken.

ill try disabling the firewalls. sometimes late at night i get dl speed up to 20kb/s( which is still slow) and thats the fastest. if i configured my portforward properly probably i could get higher. i used the windows firewall and added two ports for bitcomet( one TCP and the other UDP) using my bitcomet listen port.(under the exception tab). i still dun get remote downloads.

i've installed utorrent and use it too..somehow i figure the speed was kinda slow..do i need to configure somewhere?like connection type or port number??
