sb21pro

well i usually surf as well so , have to limit my torrents

but , i some time go above 2.5 gb when not surfing

Evander Leopold

i generally get 3.8gB dlod and about 900mB upload at night time if the torrents have seeds.
i only dlod using utorrent.max speed reached is abt 130kBps. average 120 kBps.

internet_guy

well i quitted using torrents coz these p2p are nowadays monitored by mpaa

i use http download mostly ,i used to download around 3gb to 4gb but recently my speeds are gone down ,2 am to 8 am its now 300 kbps earlier it was 2mb ,so i am not using my night unlimited much

usually keeps an eye on torrents especially for latest/blockbuster movies.but no need to worry at least here in India.use uTorrent as usual alongwith peerguardian if you wish.always download only authentic torrents(read comments).sometimes organisations like MPAA put up fake torrents which show unusually high number of seeders & peers(like 20000 seeders,20 peers)to get IP's for movies which can't possible be released in DVD(like quantum of solace bond movie DVD RIP just 6-7 days after its international premier).DVD rips usually takes months after premier of the movie.

ok, thanks 999, long time pal, where hav u been??

Evander Leopold

yes, MPAA has started a small scale war against torrent users. but dont worry my friends. there is a very easy way to stay active without gettin caught.
regularly view the website TorrentFreak | Torrent News, Torrent Sites and the latest Scoops
it gives info about what is goin on in diff search engines. MPAA tried to insert fake torrents in piratebay, but piratebay always catches those fake trackers and reports them.
so, we have just got to keep our eyes open and read the reports in torrent sites.
and one more thing, dont download latest releases at once. its better to wait for a month or so to get a good dvdrip rather than dlodin *TS or *R5 copies ( which r inferior in quality).
so, STAY SHARP & STAY ACTIVE.

I usually consume about 40 gb avg, last month it came to 98.57 GB.

The MPAA stuff is definity true though, we gotta be carefull.

MPAA cannot do much about torrents (P2P) and Rapidshare.

internet_guy

well they cant do much in india as they dont have any rights,

but they do monitor p2p things

Mr.Tooth Fairy

i agree with kixxi..

thats_me

I download ~3.8 GB per night. It used to cross 4.5 GB previously but not these days.

Evander Leopold

@ thats me

do u download with utorrent??????

if yes, then what upload speed do u maintain??
and what download speed do u get??

thats_me

@Evander Leopold

Yes I use utorrent.

Upload Speed:
For private trackers I dont maintain upload speed (because I usually dont get good upload speed there).

For public trackers with lots of leechers I maintain 4:1 (download : upload) speed ratio

I also face one problem though (even when no speed limit specified) : my maximum upload speed is ~35 KB/s. I never get higher speeds than that. I'm downloading a torrent with ~125 seeders and ~1200 leechers and have completed 54.2% of it. yet UPLOAD Speeds for that torrent(or any other torrent for that matter) does not rise above 25KB/s


Download speed : I used to get ~240KB/S but since october I'm getting ~205 KB/S

Evander Leopold

in the case u mentioned, seed:leecher ratio is too low. so all the bandwidth "the seeders r giving + the amount shared by peers" is being divided into 1200 parts. thats why ur download speed for such torrent is lower than it should be. normally 30 seeder and 50 leecher can give u above 100kBps in ur net.
200+ is pretty good speed for 2MBps line( i m assuming its ur bandwidth). start panicking when it stays below 150 for a few days.

JohnnyG

my maximum downloading during night (probably morning i.e. 5 to 8am) unlimited is 800MB.. ..coz i dont use schedulers

thats_me

OOPS I forgot to mention that its upload speed I'm talking about. It never rises above 25KB/s

Evander Leopold

ur upload speed is 256kbps.
that means 256/8=32 kBps.



go to that option menu in pic.
u probably have 256kBps selected, change it to 384 like me.
this will automatically raise ur default max-upload limit to 35kbps.
there is another way but this should work fine.

to open that window click on the green circle with a tick-mark in the middle. its at the bottom of utorrent.
