P2P Clients - Which is best?

[rhyguy]

I'm using uTorrent currently, but its bugging me that all my download/upload speed isnt being used my connection it 256KB upload and 1500KB download (crapzorz), but i cant even get 50KB with 20 seeds and 60 peers connected to me

whats a better alternative, and can let me continue downloading what i currently am

(note: if this isnt allowed, pleas tell me)

 

[mkoo]

which version you're using 1.7 and up is evil

 

[rhyguy]

1.7.5 build 4602

how would i go back to an old one, and would i be able to continue my download?

Maybe you're just downloading off really slow seeders

i just checked and the fastest person is downloading at 6KB a second

stupid leechers

Use 1.6.1
A lot of sites will block the newer versions from their trackers
Limit your upload maximum to 80% of your maximum upload

uTorrent.

Also, don't expect to ever hit your connection's "DL speed", or even get close.

I only use torrents for obscure stuff coz they take an absolute age to download. Newsgroups ftw!



*PS. Bitcomet

I use Azureus, but not the updated thing that they turned it into, since i had the older version installed, it installed everything but that luckily, so it looks and feels just like the old one. It eats up ram to hell but it always gets the job done, and the updated version has a feature where you can use a certain ip block list, from either a site or a file =D

Err, your speeds aren't 1500KB and 256KB, sorry to break it to you, but 1500Kb and 256Kb. The fastest speed you can ever hope for is 160KB/s.

Me gotz 700+ once with BitTornado.

I'm talking about him mixing up bits with bytes.

I use utorrent for most stuff and a handful of good torrent sites. Limewire and soulseek are pretty good if you're just looking for a single song

 

[FAST6191]

usual usenet chime

That over I have no advice to give with regard to the original topic.

I do however have a link:

Best "p2p" is an unlimited Giganews account with Newsleecher (w/ Super Search) and throw in a newzbin.com account for good measure and you'll be rocking the free world.

Damn, p2p is so 90's.

hehe

"stupid leechers"?

You do realize that with torrents, you are constantly downloading from leechers, only switching to seeders when the leechers in the swarm don't have any more parts for you.
In fact, the best way to contribute to seeding something, is to actually limit your download speed after you have a certain part of the file you are downloading, so that other leechers can download from you.

uTorrent.


I would suggest uTorrent too, either that or Azureus.

Now why wouldn't he? Is there something I'm missing here?

 

[ZeWarrior]

Urza its very possible to get to your DL speed, in uTorrent I reach it all the time, when my ports AREN't open because Verizon blocks them.
