Bittorent speed prolem again?

My internet download speed is 176 kbps and upload is 98 kpbs and my bittorent download is 2.37 gb and 1.99 gb is completed,time elapsed is 1 day 10 hours and the speed is 22.9 kB/s (avg.17.2 kB/s).

The seeders are 83 (648) and peers are 5(482) why is it so slow and how should i speed it up and will it help if i change the port number and how should i open a port.How should i get it to 100 kb/s or 500 kB/s.

Hey, you kinda posted this in the wrong section, but yeah =P



Anyways, torrent speeds aren't based on your internet download speed, it's based on seeders and peers (as you have already listed) and other people downloading.



The more seeder/peers there are (seeders are more useful than peers), the faster your download will go. Likewise, the faster the seeder seeds, the faster your download goes...but a lot of people limit their seeding speed so that it will not take too much of their computer's resources to help other people download (like me, I limirt it to 10kb/s).



So essentially, there's nothing you can do to speed up torrents...just hope that more people will finish downloading it and seed!



Hope this helps! =)
