I downloaded a bittorent program and went to suprnova.org to get some simpsons esp's. I', only getting 15k/b's download. Does this mean my program sucks or is it something else. On ares i get 100k/b downloads. I very very new to the bit torent thing , so please go easy on me!
I've downloaded some movies from suprnova and some come down at a decent rate, some come down really slow. I'm not a big fan of the site but the stuff was free so I wasn't put out anything.
bit torrent is p2p... it all depends on how many people are seeding the download, and how fast their connection is.
Also check your firewall settings (if you have one). Make sure port 6881 is pointed to your computer.
Port 6881 ~ 6889 should be open and directed to your computer. Additionally, check the preferences; many BT programs allow you to limit the speeds (both U/L and D/L).
There are many FAQ's on Bit Torrent available. Have a read to understand the technology, and your questions of speed, etc, will disappear.
