I am downloading suse 10.3 beta 2 with Ktorrent, however, it says it is going to take 3 days. Why is it so slow and is there any way to speed it up? Average down speed is 12 KB/Sec while upload is 21 KB/Sec.
Considering that Beta2 won't be released for two weeks I would say that is doing pretty good. Perhaps you meant to say Beta1?

Im getting about 25-30kb/s for the dvd, not much more than you, need more seeders i guess when more people have the full copy itll speed up considerably.
do you have ports 6881-6890 forwarded to your local ip? that should help your speed. google port forwarding for help there
Just for reference... I downloaded (and am seeding) the KDE iso, and it came in at over 1500kbps... took only a few minutes with KTorrent. I have not pulled down the DVD yet... just flagged the Gnome iso for download and it is also coming in at over 1000kbps. I have the ports forwarded... that is the only extra config I have done outside of KTorrent. Inside KTorrent, I have set the download speed to 0 (unlimited).
Does your ISP do BitTorrent traffic shaping? I know some ISPs do... such as Shaw in Canada. They slow BitTorrent down to a crawl...

ISP is hinet.net, but do not know if the throttle torrent back. I also go much faster on the addon cd and another cd, but only 20 to 40 KB/sec. How do you do the port forwarding you mention?
