WARNING: downloads (a must read)

[SatanX]

I'm pissed that there won't be a Goldeneye or Perfect Dark available on LIVE now.

[RooFerrigno]

whats the deal with comcast slowing down torrents?!?!?

anyone know if time warner road runner does this too? thats bullshit!

[GamezR2EZ]

yeah youll need to change the port number, this can be done with utorrent
also enable encryption

[Snafupossum]

That still doesnt stop comcast. it helps but does not solve the problem. good news is, by the end of the year, they will have all the blocks gone off there system. for me when im torrenting, my torrents go fast, but the rest of my commection gets trashed no matter how fast my torrents are going from there block stuff.

[GamezR2EZ]

ahh yeah. i had that problem
i did a couple of things to fix it
and im telling you my Linksys WRT350N (for refernnce purposses) REALLY helps, i have no clue why but it removed\eliminated most of the blocks me ISP had (Charter) and my torrents went from 300kbs to 500 kbs (thats right i only have a 5mb connection) so im def happier

but yeah i cant really surf on line if it eats my WHOLE connection

[rattmansam]

my average downspeed is 700-800 on regular downloads on torrents about 400 maybe

[Coburn]

I stay away from torrents...they are too un-reliable for me

[Snafupossum]

I average about 800 on both torrents and normal http downloads. but even if you only downloading 1kb and uppin 1kb on torrents, the rest of my protocols are trashed.

[Kyla666 (zzk2001)]

I'm sorry But the ppl who think that torrents are "un-reliable"  are just ppl  who does not know how to use them.

( i'm am not in NO way saying your dumb ) 


It's just that maybe if you ask or check out like maybe a TUT on how to use torrents or How to Spot fake uploads or some kind of thing like that, you'll be more happeyer with torrents.

IDK i'm just talking just to talk really i could care less LOL  I know when i frist started out in torrents i did not think any one would Ever use them Nore would they get as big as they Have.

Key things for torrents

1. get the oldest torrent with the same filename, this is probably an original upload, not a fake with viruses
2. If you can download it from the main tool site, do it, and just pull the keygen\crack out of the torrent you are downloading
3. Look at the filesizes, if you are downloading a movie, dont download a 702kBs file...... HELLO

[rattmansam]

well no s**t and make sure when downloading cracks to look up thier size first if possible or most software and stuff comes with cracks but still

[GamezR2EZ]

even if you only downloading 1kb and uppin 1kb on torrents, the rest of my protocols are trashed.

hey that was the same for me snafu
i found a fix, works for me idk about you
turn off DHT
that is a feature that 'bypasses' the tracker
it also screwed up everything else for me, i turned it off and reset my router adn computer and now im uploading and browsing the web with no slow down in either

happiness!!
