Posted August 25, 200519 yr Hey there. When I download something off of a website I can get between 80-150kb. However when I use some kind of file sharing program, I get alot slower results P2P - I get up to 70kb (I'm not really bothered about this) Bittorrent - 0-20 kb IRC - 20-40 kb Could anyone explain what the cause of this could be or help me out. I have tried port fowarding 6881-6889 but it didn't work
August 25, 200519 yr With p2p you need to open ports... i guess you're behind a router... most torrent trackers need either 6881-6889 opened or 6881-6999 with limewire it all depends on the person you're downloading from how much of his upload speed he will use for you to download files.
August 25, 200519 yr i can't believe people are still using 'peer to peer' :ughwerd: . usenet> all methods of downloading. and to tim, the speed of p2p downloading depends on the upload speed of the hosts from whom you are downloading

Torrent sucks IMO but I use it for games and shit.
August 25, 200519 yr Well in my experience, I can almost never get full speed on a torrent download, ever. Torrent sucks IMO but I use it for games and shit. depends on the tracker. I usually download from trackers with a ratio wich means you've got to upload this amount to download that amount. You might think that sucks but people are forced to upload making your download faster and upload spoofers don't work like lame nerds use at trackers like the piratebay, i've never had a download that went slower than 80kb/s on those. Try torrentleech.org or something, it's worth it.
