Please help, I’m trying to use Bittorrent at University, and it is going at extremely low speeds (pretty much 0 from what I can tell). I’ve downloaded 0.3% of a file before, and that took the whole day.
What can I do to increase my Bittorrent speeds? I just use the normal Bittorrent program from the official site, is there a better one for Universities?
Thanks.
LazyTurbo, I think your best bet for finding a fast bittorrent site is asking around on your campus. If anyone knows what will work best at your university, it’ll be the other students.
I am not sure about your school, but I think most universities (including mine)frown upon downloading stuff “illegally” such as music and movies and such…. so they may have blocked stuff.. but I guess it’s worth a try… the thing with bittorrent is….. it’s naturally slow. It’s not as common as P2P network, so there’s not many “seeds” or not as many people using it I guess you can say. I dont really use Bittorrents anymore…. but here’s a little program I found helpful…. it’s not free…. but from what I understand, it even helps to have the program open…. even if you dont register it… I think a few times I got up to 100 KB/s with this program open… but it’s been so long, I dont know if it’d even work anymore…. but the program is called… BT Engine 4.7… Free download here: http://www.soft4kids.com/ Enjoy!
Some bittorrent can be used to share LEGAL things (as a wise man told me yesterday). So, not all of it is used for bad purposes…though I believe many universities block those things because of their potential use and they want to protect themselves.
I don’t think BT Engine is doing anything for me, the download still isn’t moving.
Thanks for trying though.
