Hello Frendz,

I've been using MTNL UL 256 plan from past 7 months, the speed which i'm getting is average speed of 20-25 Kb/s and upload speed of 15-18 kb/s.

I have noticed that whenever i download anything from U torrents at that time most of the sites i visits to gets slow...... or shows error message.

Is there any way i can get rid of this problem............. Also please advise me how can i increase my download speed in U torrents..........

Your suggestions are welcomed............

Thanking you in advance.




Best Regards,

Have you forwarded your ports? Are you on bridged mode or PPPoe mode? What sites do you use for torrenting?

ur speed is pretty much in line with what you can expect from a 256kbps line.... As for some torrents being slow.. Are you sure you are not using torrents which have very less seeds and peers ? Try some very active torrent, any new movie will have atleast a few hundred peers and over 20 seeds. Try to gauge your speed on that.

Public Trackers case are always slow because of unbalanced ratio between seeders & leechers. I download old movies from a site which is private tracker (DHT disabled always in private trackers)and if that movie has like 30 seeders and 8 leechers. I get my bandwidth throttle to maxxxed. Yes, port forwarding helps a lot also make sure you enable Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) on your router for maximum utilization of P2P clients (Emule or uTorrent).

i've a friend who lives nearby and with the same plan...but the speed he gets is just amazing.. more than 100kBps....
i chose the mtnl connection only because i thot that i'll get the same speed..but i'm just too sad
You are getting good speeds. 256kbps(kilo bits per seconds)=32kBps(kilo bytes per seconds) You will get speed of 32 in ideal case only if there are no TCP/IP overheads. 28 kbps is norm. Upload speed can be 1/4th of that also as it is asymmetric DSL.

it lasted for about 20 days, and i was enjoying 220 -230 kbps torrent downloads, during those days and accumalatted about 100GB Data downloads. in those 17 days (connection was down for 2 days.) but after that they did something from Mtnl exchange server to my modem and it started shownig down speeds of 28- 33kbps. i am payin about 1100 rs. pe month for 256 ul. connection and now am averaging 45gb data download per month. if any one can advise me for something cheaper then this the please help me out.
and i download exclusively from free trackers and have at a time around 5 -7 downloads, working with zero seeding. no need to seed . but i have about 300 gb each uploaded on good private trackers. (each) i maintain them for anything not found on free trackers only. and bitcomet is my friend as it also gives me chance to go through its torrent collection which give some very good downloads. of if i need to seed anything its done by good old utorrent.

also i got the first month (abiut 20 days ) free . i was only charge rs. 800 as registration charge in the first month and the connection strted from 5th of the month. my connection details show that the connection was actually charged from 1 st of june instead of 5th of may. that means i either got the registraion + modem free or i got 22 days of free internet. if others have this experiance the please respond. here

256 UL is available for 599 from MTNL. How come they are charging you 1100?

599 is only in New Delhi mtnl. us poor mumbaikars have to shell out through our noses for the net. 999 is the connection costs and ~13% tax comes to 1130
