As for demonoid, you could try enabling 'DHT network'. Hope it helps.

our days of torrenting is slowly becoming a thing of the past.

and in the news today, 12,000 TM staff will be getting a 5.5% increment in salary. Suck our money, suck our bandwidth, and feed themselves.

ohh crap, so i m not the online experiencing slow downloads from local bt the last 2 days..
so is it permanent?

Already done that.....DL = 5 & UL = 3

It is my modem ??

I'm running utorrent right now (beta or not, it is the same), and I found out that my speeds have an average of 20 kilobytes per second.


I am downloading the latest Naruto as my test file, mind you.


Anyone else facing this? Has streamyx increased their throttling measures, or is streamyx just being mad at me (yes, I've downloaded about 20 gigs for the past 10 days through streamyx using bt using a bypass method I don't want to speak of, btw Naruto should be full of local peers, mind you)?

I am using the 512k package.


Http seems to work fine. Anyway, if streamyx failed on me on bt, time to go mIRC and http, sigh.




Guess I also should go VPN huh? I think it is cheaper to get off this country, though.

dude..its has been kinda slow lately.
I'm downloading CSI Miami like 5 episode at one time..I leave it on 1 night and usually 2 will completed..the rest close to 50% - 80%

but yea..it started like last week =.= before that was average of 30 - 40 kbps

my package 512/256. Its already so slow =.= no point getting 1MB line IMHO RM66

i'm experiencing much much slower download speeds as well..

Even with local peers huh? It started last night, and was confirmed today, for me.

I think it started 3 days ago. Around noon like that. My upload speed cannot exceed than 10kbps while my download speed cannot exceed 25kbps eventhough i can connect to around 50-60++ seeders. It is getting worse with local peers too. I think stimyx throttled local peers already. sigh~~

now slow like fark....

yes. dang tmnuts

^yup... downloading 10 files also below 20kBps...

i'm getting about 5kbs oni.....
