yea, doesnt this issue have a massive impact on your download/upload speeds when using such trackers?

I can assure you that the members of the development team I have contact with do care about us, and our help, and I personally thank you all for your work.
RnySmile Aimee and Jessie have all been very kind to me, and the urgent issues I've brought to their attention have been handled.
Of course I can't force them to agree with all our our suggestions for improvement, but they have seriously considered our recommendations.
Xtrem is upset because of the "web browser" announce issue. at my request, they have made bitcomet attempt a bittorrent user agent if the web browser fails. Since then I've asked twice if it could be user selectable, but all I can say is they must not feel this issue is important, and repeating that request isn't likely to change their mind.
As for the forum problems, we will be moving soon, so hopefully that will no longer be an issue

The only reason I agreed to be on staff here was to educate BitComet users. Many of the early problems slandered against BitComet were simply the fault of users combined with BitComet's popularity.
I have felt for some time (almost sine the beginning) that we are ignored here even though we seem to be the face of BitComet to the rest of the world out side of China. I have often felt that I am not doing enough here and that has changed into feeling that I shouldn't let the work get dumped on kluelos.
We've managed to make this forum respectable to the sane members of the torrent community. We have good guides and probably the most competent torrent client staff around. theShadow can't even be bothered to maintain his sites let alone his forums. Much of the μTorrent forum staff are incompetent in most areas, in addition to being bigots against BC.
But I am getting tired of things. I'm close to just locking threads like they do at the μTorrent forums.
I'm not ready to quit yet, I'll probably make a new settings guide soon. But I'm finding my self caring less about this place, especially when I'm strapped for time and can't even log in for days.
Did anyone else not get the promised free T-shirt?

Hola,
Primero, por favor no escribas todo en mayúsculas... en Internet, se considera gritar y no es muy bien recibido (estoy segura de que no lo sabías ?verdad?).
Segundo, cuando tengas alguna pregunta, primero tienes que proporcionar lo que consideramos Esencial (ver mi firma) y poder incluir la máxima cantidad de información detallada (resultados de pruebas de velocidad, los ajustes que estás usando, qu?Tutorial/es has seguido, etc.) - cuanta más mejor.
Saludos,
cassie
PD - mira bien a tu rúter... creo que lo que tu nos has proporcionado es el nombre de tu red (?inalámbrica, quizás?), en vez de el del aparato...
Hello,
Frist, please don't write everything in capitas... on the Internet, it's considered shouting and is not vry well received (I'm sure that you didn't know that, right?).
Second, whenever you have a question, you first have to provide what we consider Essential (see my siggy) andd be able to include the maximum amount of detailed information (speed test results, the settings that you are using, which Tutorials you have followed, etc.) - the more, the better.
Regards,
cassie
PS - take a good look at your router... I think that what you have given us is the name of your (wireless, perhaps?) net, instead of the machine's...

Hi,
I'm not sure that I understand your issue correctly, but I'll try to clarify some things, a little bit...
When we speak of limiting the amount to 80% of your tested speed results, we are talking about your upload speed (not your download speed... you can leave it as "no limit"). The reason for this is because BitComet will try to "grab" as much bandwidth as it can, unless you tell it otherwise.
When you limit your global max. upload speed, you are, in fact, telling BitComet, "Hey! You can upload but only with 80% of my upload bandwidth... I need the other 20% for my other Internet things." This way, you should be able to surf, chat, etc., using the Internet, without having your ability to open web pages, for example, take an absurdly long time to do so. In other words, you will still be able to use the Internet for other non-torrent things, while (at the same time) still offering your bittorrent peers enough upload bandwidth, so that they will want to trade pieces of the file with you.

Having your download speed drop to zero can have a couple of completely different causes. The first one is that nobody is seeding the file. If you read the guides forum, particularly the "New to Bittorrent?" entry, you'll know what seeding is all about. If a torrent's health/availability is below 1.0 (100%) it means that, in the aggregate, the swarm does not possess a complete copy of the torrent. If everybody in the swarm swapped all of their pieces so that every peer has every piece available, nobody would have all of it. That's availablity/health. this torrent will never finish unless a seeder comes along.
Another cause is running too many tasks at once. You have a small amount of upstream bandwidth, and this must be divided among all of your working tasks. If you've got too many, no one of them gets a very big piece. You have to give in order to get, and if you're not giving, or just giving tiny amounts, you won't get either. Make sure that each task is getting a hefty share of your bandwidth, at least a third of what you've got. For most people that means they can't run more than one downloading and one seeding task at a time, but it does depend on your connection. If you exit your client and restart it, then your speed is high, but drops to zero in about ten minutes or so this is probably why.

I noticed there was no reply to the forwarded port question.
Oh, so you noticed, huh? Well, that's a very common occurence... try as we may, we don't always get what we ask for... ... even if it's to try to help someone else

To the following people:
3) Do you use a router? What model? Have you forwarded your port? The router is the Linksys model WRT54G V.8
I noticed there was no reply to the forwarded port question.

Hi,
With bittorrent, the more you upload, the more download you will receive, but its necessary to limit your max upload so your communication can be timely with the peers your connected to.
Try setting your global max upload limit to about 42kB/s, thats about as much as your connection can support.
On very active torrents, you may see speeds approaching your connection speed, but most torrents will be closer to your upload speed.
However, don't forget that your expected to upload as much, or more then you download. Torrents will die if people stop them when they got what they want, without out concern for others.
I think this explains the torrents that aren't downloading for you, basically they are dead, because some of the peers took what they wanted, and left the swarm with no regard for others.
If you are having this problem with every torrent, then there might be another cause, but since you report some work, then I don't think you have a problem.

To the following people:Kluelos - I went ahead and look at what you advise me to but was unable to find the exact advice corresponding with my issue. Please be specific and let me know exactly where or provide me with a link.
Thanks
Cassie - Thanks for your reply/help. I was looking through the forums and found out that it looks like you are there to help everyone. Thanks for the link that you provided in the enclosed I will provide the information that you have ask for.
Here is the information:
1) What version of BitComet are you using? I am using the latest that you guy's have on the site Version1.01
2) What type of Internet connection do you have? Modem? I am Using DSL through ATT/SBC and have a modem so that I could get access on this computer which I use to download. The modem is the speedstream 5100 provided by my ISP
3) Do you use a router? What model? Have you forwarded your port? The router is the Linksys model WRT54G V.8
4) What version of Windows, Firewall and Antivirus do you use? I have the new windows vista. On this computer I am using multiple firewalls but have allowed both of them to allow bit comet to download. The windows Firewall and Norton Internet security 2008.
As I said before, When I first downloaded the program on the computer I was getting GREAT speed then started seeing the progress decrease. There are a number of things that I don't know where to start.
[/indent]I got the program and started downloading music was working great getting 300kb/s. Then I wanted to download the TV show HOUSE M.D. Here is when I started seeing something wrong. It would download at a min of 0kb/s and go up to a max of 56kb/s. I saw this happen and thought it was only the torrent flies that you know are TV and Movies. I had spoke to by friend about this issue and he said that normally these flies do take a while. I had went back to downloading music and then started noticing that my speed was dropping, Now I am at 200kb/s almost 300.
[indent]
As I was reading through some of the post I found a issue of mine with the TCP/IP saying that is was half-open to please adjust. Before I saw this post and I was able to download, I did adjust the setting and saw speed decreasing more. After trying to download a few TV shows this is when I notice that my connection is at 0kb/s. As of earlier today I had set back to 10 (Where it was when I change it) and still have the problem where it's connected but no downloading. When I adjust this setting I put it at 500.
Speedtest Results
Hopefully this information that I posted today can help you guys. Please feel free to post what other information you guy's need.

Spend some time reading our Guides forum to understand how bittorrent works. You haven't provided any of the relevant information to diagnose your problem.

Just so you are aware, .99 is not the latest version of BitComet, 1.01 is. I would suggest you give us a bit more information, and then we can help you. (See my signature)

When my ISP (Comcast) seemed to start screw with my BitTorrent traffic I switched to downloading warez HTTP & FTP link en mass. Along with a lof of HD pod casts. After a week & a half of this my BitTorrent suddenly went back to normal. I doubt I had much to do with it, but it made me feel better.

You need to set the options for Long Term Seeding or Persistent seeding or whatever its called now
It's in the options; you can either turn it off or set an upload cap for it
By crzy6888

im not sure if this has anything to do with it but when i look at the total upload it says that its at like 100kB/s but the individual files only add up to like 20

If you mean peers than yes thats why i dont understand the slow upload speed

Do you see a lot of leechers in the swarm? (The people who are downloading from you)
