be forewarned though, I gave up on trying to get 10.3 via bittorrent, too slow even with router ports forwarded on a 5meg line, up to you though, I guess some have better luck in other areas. I had better luck with HTTP, close to 300kbs the whole dl instead of the up-down speed of bittorrent nonsense with time warner in central ny. can u say bandwidth shaping?

I had good speed around 100kbs via torrent download. I'm on a 4.5 meg cable at work.

sometimes I get decent speeds as well, I wish I had an explanation, Im assuming time warner is shaping, I do not know that for a fact, and Im not calling them to find out lol... ive seen speeds jump to 400-500 on other files for a while then back down to 10 or 20. Then other times I can get high speeds for the whole dl. If it were up to me Id go back to frontier dsl never had a problem with shaping there, but cant run my site from home, they block incoming http on all ports, whereas time warner does not. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHBpDATGPZswu6yiERAtswAKC4ebgwqshwJTI2lOWSb3ZlvEeGXwCeOxXa O4uwOEYoAnBq+xQMhBxwEyA= =9SGh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

100kbs is hardly a good speed for my 10Mb cable. For sure, when I use bittorrent to download other stuff (like knoppix :) ) most often I can max out to 800kbs. 100kbs was not as fast as i see ftp / http downloads but it was fast enough for me to let it run in the back ground an do other work while waiting. I downloaded it on my windows machine an have it running on my test bench server now :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Something is really wrong with this suse torrents.

im not 100% sure its the torrents, its the leechers, many have their upload speeds throttled back maybe thinking that their download speed will increase? thats why its so slow. ive got 29 seeders and 90 leechers right now. avg dl speed 24kbs!!? pathetic on a 5meg cable line whereas in other situations where the seeders are equal or greater than the leechers I have great speeds..... everyone please seed!!!, and if you are in a situation where you can not limit upload speeds please do so.... when you retire for the night maybe?

I've been running with a 50KB/sec upload throttle for several hours now. My download average is 60KB/sec (600kb/sec) and my upload is 42KB/sec (420kb/sec). Not a great download, but this is at the office and I won't touch this until next week. The estimate is it will be done in 15 hours (DVD). I'll leave it seeding all weekend. BTW: 87 leachers, but that is really a lie. I only have 2 upload channels enabled, so when I give someone one of the 2 channels, they get a good upload speed out of me. I think all the possible seeders / leachers just make it hard for the software to figure out which peer is useful to download from. The first 15-30 minutes it seemed to spend all its time trying really slow peers, then it started ramping up as it found some good high-speed peers. My top scoring peer is actually a leacher as well. I have downloaded 236 MB from him and I have sent him 185 MB. We're both about 20% complete so I guess eventually we ll have everything the other has and say goodbye. FYI: I'm using ktorrent and you can click on peers at the bottom then click on upload slot (etc.) to see how many people are actually uploading from you and how much they have uploaded.
