Opening your Ports/ PortForwarding (optimal speeds)

Ok guys, Well you want to Leech and Seed as fast as possible right? Well you think just because closing every application and just letting bitcomet run while you sleep your getting the best speeds you can get. Where in fact, your computer is restricting the uploading and download rate on every application. Here is what i found to correct this issue - http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/229385

This is an awesome guide to open up your ports to specific applications such as Bitcomet, Limewire, and even MMO's (like WoW and LOTRO). Now this will not just let "more" seeders on one torrent come in, that's up to the P2P itself. opening ports will help out more into multitasking.

 

Example, having 5 torrents - with ports closed, you will have maybe 1 or 2 downloading with maybe 30kb/s.

Where with ports open, you will have all 5 downloading with maybe 20kb/s each it's might reduce in kb/s but downloading speed overall is optimal.*

(*uploading/downloading will vary)

 

If you have any questions or concerns, I'll try to help the best I can. Make sure your upload/download ratio is 1.000 or higher please. You can even setup a scheduler for uploading purposes even if it's only an hour a night. go to Options > Scheduler and then setup from there.

err..isn't it for us to be not called as leecher the download/upload ratio should be at least 150% = 1.5000?? If i'm not mistaken downloader who doesn't reach 150% of share ratio still considered as leecher by most p2p client.. Well,,never mind that thanks for the info anyway, very informative information...will go to the link after this maybe can still got something to improve my download speed...

No no no don't misunderstand me, I don't mean that you are accusing everyone that not reached the 150% share ratio as a leecher. All I want to say is most p2p client such as Bitcomet still consider someone as a leecher if they DO NOT share what they download up to 150% minimum. Meaning to say if I download a torrent such as a movie torrent and I didn't share it until I reach the 150% download/upload ratio for that single task, I'm still called a leecher. I only can be called as a seeder if I've shared my downloaded torrent up to 150% minimum download/upload share ratio. In Bitcomet's DEFAULT auto stop setting for example need to reach 200% of share ratio in order to enable the auto stop task option. The minimum to enable it are 100%. That mean it is okay to stop the task when we've shared 100% of our downloaded torrent but still not enough as a torrent community. And I am agree with what you said about the "GUEST" downloader who beg for seed in every comment section. The torrent just uploaded for only a day or two and they already begging for seed. Irritate me also sometimes. But sometimes the "GUEST" are not actually a guest. Sometimes registered user like us appeared as a guest when making a comment. I dare to say it like this because it actually happen to me. I don't know why but recently when I made a comment in the comment section my username are not displayed, I appeared as a guest instead. I'm not trying to protect the "GUEST" group here but just to let you know in case you don't. Finally I want to say that I am sorry for making you think that I got offended by your comment. I'm gladly say here that I'm not. Actually I'm happy to know that there are someone who care about share ratio like yourself since many people have the attitude of grab-and-run without inttention to share it to other people.

Haha glad you understand what I mean PEACE PEACE.. Yeah that port forwarding thing is really a solution of low download speed (well at least for me).. My download speed used to be very very slow but since I've done the port forwarding about 1 year or so ago my download speed just boost up ridiculously I just can't believe it. Imagine you're downloading at 10-15kB/s max all the time and suddenly after completing the port forwarding thing your download speed goes up to 160kB/s sometimes up to 210kB/s, now that's what I called a blessing. I know for some people 160kB/s is just their average download speed even without doing the port forwarding but for me it really was a blessing... Although I've done my port forwarding long time ago I still look up to post like this coz there might be a new tips to improve Bitcomet's download speed.. Anyway good luck on your ranking, it took me a little while to reach this level, there's many people above me though with much higher score and ranking and congratulations on your newly customize PC. Must be nice to have such one. Mine is from stone age..

I'm using Bitcomet and I've done my port forwarding in the hope that my downloading speed will become significantly faster. But it's still pretty slow. The speed used to be around 10-15kB/s and now it is 40kB/s, though my internet connection speed is at 2GB..what could be the problem?

The problem could be your ISP - their is a couple of providers that are throttling P2P connections to people because of copyright laws and everything.

Best way to find out if your ISP might be one is to go to google and type in search engine <ISP Name Here> "Throttling" (ex. Cox Cable Throttling).

If I remember right I know it's Cox Cable and Comcast - those are the only two I heard of with bandwidth throttling..
