Thread: Torrents not working with TATA WI MAX

I just got my LAN migrated to WiMax (384 kbps) a day back in Hyd and it is terrible. Not only has the download speed come down to 21-22 kbps from over 40 + kbps but the major problem is that torrents don't work.

How can I go about the torrents??? What do I have to do to make it work ?

Please help...

No, Torrent will work even port forward is disabled.
try utorrent
get the latest version from here
Download - µTorrent - The Lightweight and Efficient BitTorrent Client
download and install
and in open utorrent then >options>speedguide>connection type> (CHANGE CURRENT SETTINGS TO xx20MBit >
current port > (put a value higher than 56661
and hit use selected settings and apply.
im a 384 kbps user i can download torrent with 48 ~ 54 KBps

kevin, let us know if it is working for you. Adding to Navin's point you can check the box where it says, encrypt the packets (in utorrent).

i have tata WIMAX and torrents works fine for me.......

utorrent is the best. It is quite lite and compatible. I don't think your ISP has something to do with this. If you already have utorrent, reinstalling may fix the problem.

i have tata wimax too in hyderabad..i have the same problem torrents are not downloading perfectly...i have a red sign instead of a green one even when i connect to d ppoe modem directly..i dont know wats wrong..direct downloads are working fine but torrentz speed sucks badly...20-25
i have a 384 kbps plan..

yep

even i cn download torrents very fine

Beware to have this option
-> bittorrent outgoing connections protocol encryption as enabled
->use utorrent ultra accelarator for your etho card
i have a 384 kbps connection and get upto 74 kbps download speed in utorrent

tried using u torrent accelerator but it does not work..its some bullshit..the speed remains the same if u start or stop the the thing..

got static ip nd my torrents are working fine nd FYi it is not possible to get
74 kB/S on a 384 kbps connection

in ur post mentioned ur getting 74kbps nd dat is not even 50 %of ur bandwiths speed
hope ur not confused between kbps and kB/s

Thanks Nivin...This worked for me

hi, can you please tell me what is the value we need to enter in current port:

if i am right is it correct if i enter 56662?

use bitspirit awesome torrent downloader for dynamic ips . works like a charm even with wimax

Hi all,
I've been using Tata Indicom WIMAX connection for now 1.5yrs.Earlier I used get bad connection status on Torrent, though torrent used to work.Now it always shows good connection..and the speed is also good.
