pro-rebeluk Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 ok so i just got virgin 50mb broadband installed and got a new modem and router and have just set it all up but for some reason now the download speed on the torrent i'm downloading is running slower than the upload speed which is abit of a problem anyone go any idea how i can fix this cause i'm officially clueless as to what has caused this to happen because there is definately more seeds than leachers on the torrent so i'm stumped.

KingOfMetal Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 depending on which verson you have (mines not the newest but I assume its not that different)  go to 'options' then 'preferances', then select the 'bandwidth' option. You should see the first option as 'Global Upload Rate Limiting'. You will see an option called 'Maximum upload rate (kB/s): [o: unlimited]'. Set it to about 5 and click Apply    hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Kookoocachu Posted September 13, 2010 Paid Members Share Posted September 13, 2010 Also set the bandwidth allocation on an important torrent to highest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostface1982 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Yeah sounds like a port forwarding issue. Â I've never personally been capped on Virginmedia in the 8 or so years I've been with them but apparently they are pretty bad for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

courageous Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Opposite problem for me- Â I see loads of peers in brackets - 15+, but only get a few actually downloading from me. The site I torrent from is (quite rightly) strict on ratios & I am in danger of getting blocked - HELP ME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajmcstyles Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 I have a friend whos on Virgin. They really dont like Torrents, I hear they block them during the day allowing them in the early hours from 1am-7am, Also cut your upload speed to 1kb/s at upload speed can sometimes effect your download speed. Â My mate has switched Rapidshare/Megaupload to avoid torrents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajmcstyles Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 There is no caps at all on 50MB broadband, that's defo not the issue here. Strange my mate finds torrents Capped during the day leading him to switch to RS and MU this was virgin them selfs. Â Cant wait to switch from Orange to Virgin even 10mb sounds good to the 8mb well 5mb at 1am till 8am and then its just 1.5mb during the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
