Hi guys ... I'm not very familiar with the p2p programs. I need to download one file but it is just sooo slow (1kb/s) and my internet connection is a 100Mb/s DSL. Could anyone help my, how to improve my download speed. I'm using a sony vaio with win xp and the new verison of BitComet 0.77.

Hi, the speed at which you are able to download the file also depends on how many "seeds" and "peers" there are for the one file. So if there are a low number of "seeders" then your down load will be slow.

You should also check your "upload speed" usually if it is significantly higher than your download speed, then i might cause a slow down. You should be able to Restrict the upload speed by double clicking on the file in Bit Comet and setting a max Upload speed (20 kb/s usually gives me the best speeds).

- Check number of seeds/peers
- Check Upload speed
- Restrict Upload speed

It could be your network. My university blocks all the ports, so torrents are very slow here.

turn off windows firewall or any that you have on. install azures because bitcomet blows. you shouldnt need to open any ports.

btw your internet is not 100mb/s
