Downloading torrents with Windows 7

[Jaffa1978]

Hi since I've been using Windows 7 Ultimate x64 I've noticed that when i try to download torrents they are really really slow,whether i use BitComet,uTorrent or Vuze? I've checked firewall settings and everything appears to be fine,any suggestions? Thanks


p.s Any news on when flashplayer will be available for 64bit browser?

Hi Jaffa1978, welcome to the forums.

I'm going to assume that you are using torrent for purely legal reasons

What setting (bandwidth) are you using for µtorrent?

I would recommend the following

   Tip

If experiencing slow download speeds try reducing your upload speed

This will allow for a much larger connection set meaning that you should get a much better d/l speed.

Hope this helps

Thanks i used the settings you showed,its started to pick up a little,but its still slow I'm downloading a file thats only 3.5mb,normally I'd download that in 5secs on vista.I normally use BitComet but its saying the port is blocked?tryed changed the port but doesnt matter what i try it keeps saying blocked currently getting 10kB/s on uTorrent,normally get between 150-250kB/s on BitComet,its the only thing annoying me about windows 7,apart from that works like a dream,great OS big improvement over vista Thanks

Have you disabled IP-6 support? we could also use some specs on system and network.

TIA

having ultima 7600.16385 and all is ok. check your connection.

All is working to the max here on 7600, there may be an entry on your firewall setting that's not allowing the connection. Might be worth looking into

Go to..

Control Panel -> Network & Internet -> Network and Sharing center

Then click 'Change adapter settings' on the left hand pane. Right-click your main network connection then 'Properties'



You can then select/de-select whatever option you need in the main panel.

IPv6 and others are all enabled

Have you tried other torrents, I find that some are slow because of who (seed) is actually still seeding the file. Try a WELL seeded torrent & see what happens

 

[grouchpunk08]

Did you try making sure the port is forwarded in your router/modem? if you have a modem and a router, you'll most likely need to forward the port in both. And if you had the port forwarded before, make sure the port that is forwarded is the one you are using.

Hey im new.

Remember the EvID Patch for XP? It used to "Open up network connections".

Dont really know what that meant, but with it I could download many torrents and browse the Internet without any lag.

Anyway I found a similar thing for Vista/7 Universal Tcpip.sys Patch

TCP-Z, Best TCP/IP Patch: Universal Tcpip.sys Patch, V1.2 Build 20090409

Works great on my 7 RC x64.

For me this was a great find, I hope it helps you.

If this is old news,
