I hate torrents.

I hate torrents too, im currently downloading at 8KBps, when the maximum download speed I can acheive is 192KBps.

The most I've ever had from a torrent was 13KBps.

It's the most over-rated piece of software I have ever used.

Any chance of sharing it with KazaaLite?

Well, Whabang seems to host it, he put up a link a couple of posts back.. Much better than torrents.. :-)

Oooops missed that one! Thanks. :-D

Is it just me or does anyone else find bittorrent in general really slow?

[Orjan]

I guess torrents really depend on a system of verifying that people "seed" alot, and not uploading everything people can think of ( as on the "professional" torrent sites ) and not as on the tracker on which I uploaded my torrent, on which there is no content-control, nor obligement to seed.. Which perhaps overloads the tracker, resulting in poor connections to other users...

Those are my thoughts, anyway... :-)

HTTP download

It's a 1 Mbit line, so don't expect faster speeds than 100 Kb/sec.

It's quicker than torrent so will suit me fine
Downloading now, thanks

Oh yes.. anyone complaining about Torrents, don't blame the software, I have used many different apps and still slow, or lucky to download anything

[HopperJF]

Not so good now it has stopped at 60Mb of the 75Mb file


 :-(

The part of the file which has downloaded only plays audio.

@HopperJF
Do you have your internet connection behind a router; cos slow torrent downloads are normally the symptom of lack of port-forwarding. BitTorrent loves ports 6881-6889 (Traditionally). I know this cos I used to suffer from having downloads at around 2KB (If they'd connect at all) and after discovering the cure, I could download at fullspeed. Just downloading this file, was around 20KB per second which aint bad at all.
Hope this helps at all

It's a *brilliant* vid! If you believe the vid everybody in Amiga International's offices was exclusively using Amiga's :-D.

So er, what's the story of this vid? Was it shown at a shown? Was it distributed to Amiga dealers?

-edit-
Cool, Petro T. plays Super Stardust :-D. Only...somebody please give him a decent joystick.

I was talking about your general BitTorrent problems.

Whabang was obviously waiting over the big cancel button while watching you slowly reach 90%!

Try to download it again, HopperJF. My connection can be a bit dodgy at times. I've been bugging my ISP about it for months....
