Nitro Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 I have now upgraded from dial-up to broadband, Although when using a file sharing program like Limewire, I only get speeds of 5kbps, Which is crap, i used to get that on dial-up! Anybody know how i could speed it up?, I think i should be getting a speed of 30kbps or more. Does anybody else use any other p2p software. Any help appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 The download speeds are only what the other peer has determined to allow for his upload speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryMcCann Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Bitcomet is the dogs too. I downloaded the latest episode of Lost in about 45 mins earlier. Download speed peaked at over 200k/sec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jools Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 The most I've ever got out of Limewire is 30kb/s which isnt that great, but its enough if I'm just downloading one small file. I download most of my larger files through Azureus though (torrent files), which with a bit of tweaking I can get between 50-100 kb/s. But like Nick said, its mostly affected by what the other peers are allowing for their upload speed. You could try using another port for Limewire instead of the standard default port. I think EasyNews is the current popular choice on here at the moment, but you have to know how to use newsgroups etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
