hey man...i have a 64 Kbps unli. local cable walla conenction.

i have set my max no. of global connections to 50 and max no. of connections per task to 25.max no of tcp open connections to 50 and max upload to speed to 4 KB/s.

is there anything else i need to change.i am not getting good speeds...between 2-3 KB/s

pls help.
 
first make sure that the torrent has sufficient seeds. And is listed on a decent tracker (the only sure way of doing this is trying out a couple popular files on diff trackers). Also increase your upload speeds closer to your max value (just below max).
 
IMO BitComet is better.From what i observed,for same torrnets with same no. of seeders bitcomet gives 90-97% speed of the connection speed but µTorrent only goes till 75-80%.theese r with default settings.
 
Bitcomet gives higher speeds, but the wastage is also proptionaely much higher. I noticed that I download a lil bit more with Utorrent then Bitcomet in a day. Bitcomet also misreports the speeds in my case, eats a lot of RAM.
 
^^ and bitcomet has some troubles with trackers. there have been cases where around 2gb of transfers did not show up in the stats. for the same file, azureus was working without any problem
 
Thanx for pointing that out Aces and Checksum.There r probs with BC (hell my 800MB+ U/L did not get accounted for in demonoid...).

Azereus is cool too especially with that 3d swarm plugin.

Thank you DipDude and others!!!!!!!

This Torrent client rocks!!!!So lite on even my PC and the functionality is great :).

Thanks guys...this means am returning to torrents!!!

Reps for DipDude :).

confirmed. Utorrent gets more seeds (and hence availablility) than bitcomet. Porbably cos some trackers are blocking BC
 
hi,

certainly, utorrent is the best client around. i download more now then i used to using either ABC 2.6.9 or any other client for that matter.
 
Mods please update the thread title to 1.4

I am presently downloading a file in Bitcomet, its around 45%, if i switch to Utorrent, is there any way i can continue the download from where i left of in bitcomet. Also in utorrent, please can anyone suggest good settings. I have a Sify 256 Kbps connection.
 
yes you can....

All you have to do is to choose the EXACT same download directory in utorrent. The same one where BitComet was downloading to.

For example, if you are downloading a folder which has xxx number of files to "D:\Folder name", then you need to choose the same directory even in utorrent.

Then it starts downloading from 45%.
