Rogers Cable Internet - Slow Bittorrent Speeds!

septoid2 · 03-08-2006, 12:19 AM

Anyone been noticing this using Rogers Internet Broadband connection? My bittorrent speeds never rise over 1kbps, even on really active torrents.

change your ports, never use default

use a high 5 digit value (i use 37681 or somewhere close to that)

if you're behind a router you'll need to setup a DMZ host as well.

What bittorrent client allows you to change your port? I'm using BitComet.

Pretty sure all torrent program's allow you to change the port your using,Should be in the option's area somewhere.

utorrent is awsome.

you select port in setup (when installing) and it will scan and test for you to make sure it works.

Reccomended from [mostly] everyone is Azerues, Try to google a "Speed up bitcommet" etc. Used one of them guides a long time ago and it improved by about 20%-50%

I hate azureus. I only use it when a tracker is down since it'll let you still get the files from seeders.
