hi there! I am from PJ and don't experience any significant problem. I am using 1MB download package.

I notice that the download speed depends on the time of the day. The best time is after midnight for the type of files that I am downloading (your experience may be different from mine). 11am until midnight are not so good for downloading. Also at this time there are not that many people connected, result in even slower speed. There was one period of time (about 10 days) that I experienced extremely slow speed after midnight (completely opposite of my usual experience), but later it was back to normal. How long have you experienced slow speed? Could it be line problem?

If it is a new download, it is quite slow at the beginning. It is normal that download speed is slow if the percentage of completion is less than 10% or higher than 90%.

If the seeds come and go, it doesn't matter. The most important field is the HEALTH. A health of every 100 means there is 1 complete copy. Besides, sometimes seeds send out lots of data, sometimes seeds send out very few data, depends on the torrent. Don't ask me why but it's how it works. So, a seed is not a must.

Anyway, I have heard of many people complain about slow speed using BC, but I am not sure if intentional blocking exists or not.

Hi, Regarding this. The most common reason torrents are slow, is users that run multiple torrents.

Most of us have limited upload bandwidth, so we cannot send enough data to the swarm to support more then one torrent. If we do, then everyone that connects to us, we get little or nothing from us.

It is much better to run one torrent, when its done seeding, stop it and run your next.



Suspect

ps. If all your torrents always run slow, then it could be throttling, or a problem with your settings.

I wish to concur with lyner and some of my countrymen's (maybe with the exception of goody's) findings.

It was a big contrast to what I usually get from BitComet since Monday 13th. No more double

digits dl/ul rates in which all along I've taken them for granted. For someone already grown so

accustomed to BitComet, it is clear that the rates are now seldom beyond 5 kBps. Imagine the pain

having to see other peers with double-digits rates (some even with 3 digits) with mine plodding

alongside.


I've taken the initiative of uninstalling and reinstalling 0.70, plus replacing the ZA firewall

with that of OUtpost, but still to no avail as there was no marked improvement. It was the same for

whatever torrent I've tried: the results were relatively dismal. I'd already be in peace if the

rates are in the 10-15kBps region by the time of the 35% file mark with respect to my 512/256kbps.


Out of curiousity, I've installed/ran Azureus and utorrent to see if things would turn out

differently. Inspite of healthy green NATs, those two clients still give similar results as that

of BitComet: single digit performance.


I'll go along with lyner to say that other internet activities, such as surfing, FTP download and

video streaming, seem to be unaffected. I used to switch-on Kazaa once in a while just to break

the monotony, and it was OK before Monday 13th. I'm afraid Kazaa is already unusable now as it

disconnects itself too frequently.

Yes, I have to concur the above problem!

I am from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. (ISP: Streamyx)
This has been a problem since one month ago.

Here is the data from one of my downloads:
Health: Between 900% to 2,200%
Total Downloaded: 276MB
Total Uploaded: 829MB
Average Download Rate: 1KB/s within 59:00:00
Average Upload Rate: 3KB/s within 59:00:00

1. Concur that it keeps disconnecting with BitComet, many times over an hour.
2. Concur that it download speed is between 0 to 5kB/s even with a very good health
3. My download is much slower than my upload, that is strange, never had that before, usually it is download faster than upload. Refer to the above data.

Block by authorities or ISP??

If you keep disconnecting with BitComet, are you using version 0.70? 0.70 is the stable one. If you are using version above 0.70, you should uninstall it and replace it with version 0.70

My download is usually slower than my upload ever since I use BC. I am using 1MBps package. Upload rate is often at 40KB/s. Download rate is usually less than that. By the way, I set Global Max Download Rate & Global Max Upload Rate as NO LIMIT
