Bitcomet on dialup woes!!

Re: Bitcomet!!

Well you can cap the download and upload speeds. But, many trackers have banned BitComet as it does not adhere to BitTorrent protocol. You can try out uTorrent. It is just a 154kb exe file. And it is recommended by many users.

Re: Bitcomet!!

Ya, utorrent and azarues are highly recommended. I personally use utorrent to download large files. Just cap the upload speed to around 1/4th of the max download speed. In case of my 256kbps broadband, the max download speed I can get (theoretically) is 32kbps, so I capped the max upload speed as 5kbps and the download speed is configured as unlimited. So for your 56kbps dialup, I think you get a max download theoretically of 5-7kbps (practically it is 4kbps, I had dialup previously and used to get that), so cap your upload speed to 1kbps in utorrent from it's configuration settings.

Yaaa Indyan is really Right! Bitcomet is really stable and also will allow simultenous surfing if you got atleast 256KBPS.
And About the upload thing i think its really so unfair having the upload speed at about 1/4 th od download. Its total leeching.
Some of the Torrent sites that supports leeching will require you to upload atleast at 80% of the download speed to get to the optimal download. And yes this will also effect the download speed in some cases. So for 256 KBPS you should atleast have 22 Kbps and unlimited ( 32Kbps) download speed.
Keep the torrents alive ! And on 80% theres nothing to lose absolutly. ONLY GAIN! Peace

Ah guys.. Do we get open ports on dialup? I dont think torrents are meant for dialup!

One thing that you can do.
Limit the number of peer connection and also the number of connections per torrent. This won't affect you in any way and it'll rather help you as you get less redundant data and more importantly as I have observed you can browse while you leech.

It's an assumption which is hold true logically. I don't want to get into the details, if you guys are interested then I can post abt it later. I am lazy to post abt that now.

Yes, it does. To be precise, it does with the case of Bitcomet. And to be even more specific, then the older versions are to be blamed. I think the problem is sort of fixed now.

I used to run torrents on good old dial up during the Suprnova days and per hour the rate was more than 35rs.

Hmm.. But did you get an open port? I tried running torrents on dialup, and i always got a NAT error..

Well, I don't know how it worked but I have downloaded with dial up connection also. I can't try that now as I don't have a 56k modem card in my PC.

Yeah.. i mean they ran with the NAT error too.. But torrents work the best if u have an open port na..

^^
That depends on how you describe "best".

You'll get 30-31kBps for a 256k line (or 4-5kBps with dial-up), then why do you worry abt NAT, DHT and all the BS?

What connection are you using? What modem?

bsnl 256 kbps with huawei quidway wa1003a type III wireles modem

PM Qwerty.. He has a huawei modem, not wireless though.. He can help you with configuring port forwarding on that modem..
Open *192.168.1.1

Just look for NAT/Virtual Server, add your private IP address there, and enter the port you use for torrents.

Oh the wireless modem, no help on that here... and neither does port forward . com have any support for that
