I have Azureus, and I've searched everywhere to maximize my download speeds. I have turned off my firewall, forwarded 10 ports or so, but my download speed still is around 20kbps .. sometimes it can go up to 60 kbps...but then it quickly returns back to 20. I thought port forwarding would do the trick -- it only worked for one night. I even did port forwarding for different IPS...cuz my IP changed today. One site said that if your azureus "health" is green, then everything should go well.....and mine isn't. O yes. I have cable modem....so Im extremely bewildered why everything is so slow. thanks in advance

Two things might work, switch the power of to your modem and leave for 5 Min's then switch back on, and leave for another 5 Min's so it finds its settings.\n\nNext you can check your MTU to find out what speed is set, follow the link below.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nGood Luck.

If the other people in your house, are receiving good speeds and your card is not, then it cannot be your modem because they are receiving a good connection. It is either going to be your computer, or your wireless card. Chances are that you have a defective card, because if you are surfing, than there is no setting that you can really manipulate in your computer to make it go faster, other than deleting the cache and cookies. (I work for an ISP technical support helpdesk)...Try to get a new card installed, of try a Linksys wireless G adapter at Walmart, or Circuit City (between 30-50$), because sometimes it can just be that your card is not very compatible with your wireless router.

u can use per-2-per programs like kazaa, i-mesh, or based on gnutella, to DL 1 song at time... also u can unse the program azureus to DL torrents, so enter to mininova.org and search for full albums but please... share u'r music to...

well you cant really control your torrent speed because it depends on the number of peers (seeds) you are connected to...\nit also varies with your upload speed...

Yes more than likely the problem is ports being blocked by your router. Remember if you forward the ports on your router that you still need to allow them if you are running a software firewall also (zonealarm, windows xp firewall etc...) \nPort forwarding must be enabled on the TCP port 80. \n• Port forwarding must be enabled on the TCP port 2300. \n• Port forwarding must be enabled on the UDP ports that are in the range of 2300 to 2310 from your router to the computer that is hosting the game.

torrents would have been my best answer. it doesnt slow me down\n\nNOTE: if you are using a router maybe you should do port forwarding so its not so slow

It does not matter what torrent client you use. What makes your download speed being fast or slow if how proper your computer and your internet line is set up to send and recieve data from other people.\n\nEach torrent client uses a specified range of ports. These ports have to be opened to get a good and fast download speed.\n\nIf your download speed is slow as you said, it has nothing to do with your torrent client you use. The port that your torrent client uses has to be opened. Once it is opened your download speed will fly .\n\nI myself am too much in torrenting and believe me, Azureus is the best one ever.\n\nCheck this website out and read it carefully and do what is says. You will end up with a sweet and fast download speed.\n\nhttp://www.portforward.com\n\nany question ? send me a message\n\nGood luck

Don't use Morpheus use the bittorrent network. It's free and faster download speeds and more secure I think personally. check out azureus! I'm drunk right now so I hope this helps!

Could be modem settings...  Could be quality of the line...  Could be ISP is bogged down...  Maybe try disconnecting and reconnecting?  Distance from CBO could also be a factor.  If you are out in the country, tha can make a differance.  My in-laws live 2 hours from anywhere and 30 minutes from the nearest neighbor and they get MAX 20Kbps on dial-up.  Many factors can degrade your speed.  Most are out of your control unfortunately...

there are many and i mean many factors of possibly making it faster. But 50ft away is quite a distance get closer to your router that will improve speeds. Also cable your speeds will fluctuate since you are networked into a hub. Your home many have a lot of interference in the walls. google it "help with wireless connections" or something like that.

LOL!!!\n\n1Gb/s broadband!!!\n\nYou are out of your mind, that does not exist for home usage, maybe for IBM offices...\n\nWhat country are you in? That determines what companys you want to look at!\n\nI think you meant 1mb/s... correct me if i am wrong.\n\n\nEDIT:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::\n\nPlease watch out for this:\n\nUNLIMITED DOWNLOAD, in the small print - they usualy put "Subject to Fair usage Policy" Therfore it is not unlimited and you can be kicked off the service or limited to say 15kbps upload and 30kbps download if u try to use a lot of bandwidth.\n\nI download a fair bit but the BT package with 40gb is more than enough (i live in the uk).

[quote]\nCan I collaborate these 2 connections into one, and would that theoretically mean I could double the connection speed to 54Mbps x 2 = 108Mbps?\n[end quote]\n\nNo, i don't think it works that way. What i presume is that only one connection is active at a time since you have no control on what connection a program work. And btw, the speed of one wireless connection is far higher than what you get by your ISP.

preferences > connection > make sure everything is set right. But i just checked mine, I have DSL but it was set on dial-up, but it still works lol. probably the main thing though is about the proxy. Mine was set on No proxy, which is the default setting.

This forum might give you some ideas. Otherwise, I'd suggest contacting your ISP tech support or help desk and ask them.\n\nhttp://forums.speedguide.net/showthread.php?t=181422\n\nplrr

Faster download rate?  Are you asking because your download speed is way less that your bandwidth speed?  If so you should know that your bandwidth speed is in bits and your download speed is in bytes.  There are 8 bits per byte so your download speed should read 8x slower in bytes than your bandwidth in bits.  Actually, they are the same!  So Sam is right, if you want faster download you will have to upgrade you service.\n\nDisadvantages?  I can only think of one.  You won't have time for a potty break when downloading music.

Are you sure the speed test didn't say 8 KBps (bytes instead of bits)? You should do these tests while nothing else is using your connection. Your connection should almost always be a little slower, but not that much. Try the speed test below, it should be closer to what your pc says--if you use it correctly.

UK/Yorkshire/Pontefract\nE7broadband\n1Mbps down 256kbps up\n£10 per month\n\nI've had real problems with this ISP. Just now it seems OK but the WAN has only been up for 7 hours against 323 hours for the system.
