OP, flow throttles ur bandwidth when using P2P software but there is an easy way around it with i little disadvantage.

first of all, u wont get max download speed in an instant whether flow throttling or not. A well seeded torrent could take 5 - 10 mins to get up to speed.

if u are using utorrent, open the options window and click on 'BitTorrent' from the list on the left. under the section 'protocol encryption', make sure u choose the option 'forced' and check the box 'allow incoming legacy connections'....a well seeded torrent may take up to 10 - 15 mins to get up to speed.

under the 'bandwidth' section, make sure to increase the amount of Global Connections at the bottom (all 3 options).
What amounts do you use? I have been fiddling with this for a while but is there a recommended best ratio of global connections : Maximum connected peers?

Under the 'connection' section on the left, feel free to randomize the port u are using anytime u are downloading a torrent.
I tried a bunch of different ports I saw recommended on different sites but nothing ever really worked. What this randomization of the ports have to do with the speed it downloads at?

i dont think there is a recommended amount....i just use a very large number like 10000. lol i connect to a larger pool of seeds depending on the torrent popularity.

Flow can recognize bittorent traffic i believe. its easy to temporarily block a port from the ISP side if it has the same traffic patterns as bittorent traffic....just a precaution...im not sure to what extent they monitor bittorent traffic.

but i rarely use uTorrent again. just use filestream.me.......they download your torrent for u almost instantly if its a new torrent....then u can download it from them at your max speed.

every sunday i get game of thrones in a matter of 10 minutes from the minute its released.

That sounds like....sorcery. I'm going to that site now

edit - Ok i made an account. Says i have 29 days remaining. Did you purchase membership?

And i uploaded the latest supernatural torrent from my PC and it says queued. What do i have to do now?

edit 2 - ok nvm its started. if this works good i owe you a beer. you have no idea the frustration this will lessen lol

[stev]

yeh i have 17 days remaining....but ti was like that for the past 2 months. lol

u can refresh the page....it will show u its progress....or u can close the borwser, u wud get an email when its finished.

to download at max speed......click on download (next to the single file u want to download, dont zip it) then choose to copy the link to your clipboard.....paste the link in your download manager.

[Soul Collector]

Ahh ok I stopped the zip download and went and installed a download manager and did what you said. With the 5mb connection I USED to get speeds of around 600kbs+ but I cant remember the last time I ever saw those speeds tbh.

In the download manager right now its maxing out at 300kbs and hovering just above or under that. Thought I would have gotten closer to 600kbs tho.....

which download manager are u using? how many connections does the download manager open? and is there a default transfer limit (transfer cap)?

[Soul Collector]

I just downloaded Internet Download Manage 6.15 from CNET (link below)
http://download.cnet.com/Internet-Downl ... 71618.html

While it was downloading I looked around and saw an option to use a transfer cap but it was disabled. As for how many connections it opens im not sure really. A window just pops up displaying the speed/progress. Its WAY faster than the usual way but if I could double that 300kbs I'll be in heaven lol

[stev]

the download speed u see when downloading a torrent is never exact...its the average download speed.....average of 5 - 10 values,

i get 2.7MBps on utorrent and 3.1MBps on internet download manager

but some of the things i usually try to download never has seeds

Downloads -> Options -> Connection -> Default max con number.

[Soul Collector]

Ok got it. It was set at 8. In the drop down it had an option for 16 as highest so I put that. I not downloading anything else right now I gona sleep, will try it back 2mrw and see what speeds I get.

Thanks a mil, appreciate it

[M_2NR]

Also turn on encryption. Last night speeds were fluctuating but I'm not sure if its the host or me because my speedtests were Normal. YouTube still sucking though. I have to use a proxy to watch it.

[firstchoicett]

A friend of mines get about. 15-16 MB/S with his 100 MB connection I get about 9-10 MB/s on a 50 MB connection but don't really do much downloading .

[mojosodope]

Same here, speed tests all come back normal but YouTube exceptionally slow these days.

Well with flow throttling your torrent download to under 100 kbps, this allows you to pull the torrents in zip format using a download manager at regular 400 kbps to 1000kbps. At least this has been my experience.

there are many other sites similar to filestream, like put.io (only 1GB storage but fast) zbigz...not sure how fast they are or how much storage.

there is a large / active tracker list circulating on piratebay..i usually copy all the trackers into the low seeded torrent im downloading.

since demonoid went down i tryin all how to get a leecherslair invite
