How can i make torrent go fast? is it something to do with ports or somethign? Ive tried to jack up my seed setting but nothing can some1 plz help

thx

Are you some kind of dumb ass? What kind of ISP would offer unlimited download speed? The torrent will not go any faster cauz you have been conned good & proper.

wtf! i havent been conned! My plan works like this: The more ppl on the network, the slower your speed, and if i was miraculously the only 1, i get all the bandwidth!!!

Is the light yellow? Are you on a school network?

What is the maximum for "all the bandwidth?"

It sure in the hell isn't "unlimited."

Telstra/Bigpond offers "unlimited" cable with "uncapped" speeds, but "unlimited" means 10GB traffic per month, afterwards they slow down your connection, also "uncapped" means best available speed, which can vary from 0 to 10MBit/s (10MBit/s is the physical limit of the cable modem).

the punisher has it 100% right, ive got telstra! but i heard that i forward some ports it goes really fast!

If you have a router, you have to forward ports.
If you have a firewall, you have to configure the firewall properly.

Usually a green light in bittornado means, that you don't have to do anything with ports. But you should limit your upload speed to 80% of your max upstream. For 512kbps upstream, set a max upload rate of 50kB/s (or less if you're running multiple torrents or want to do other stuff with your bandwidth). When you always only get low speeds, you can try to change the port range bittornado uses, your ISP could be blocking the default range (6881-6999).
