Slow Torrent Speeds - Guest - 01.06.2010
I want to download UP 2.01 via torrent, but my d/l speeds are like 20Kb/s which is insanely slow considering my internet is as 50+mb/s. I got rid of my original 2.0 files in a crash so I want to have this version alongside my HSFX 4.11

Which torrent software? In uTorrent you have to enable full speed seeding to get full speed download. If your upload limit is on, put it off. Have you allowed enough seeders to connect you?

If you haven't made any changes you should have full upload. See the "peers" tab to see how many people are there as active.

I'll seed for ya, maybe it helps a little :wink:

OK, cheers Arctic m8
@Cnopi, I have seen that before but lost the link so thanks
In 2 hours I have downloaded 2% so something is clearly wrong :-?
For bandwith i can't connect to any of the locations, as I get an error message.

Hi, everyone
Just to be sure that we all know:
The weak link, so to speak, will determine the transfer speed. In other words, if philip.ed has a reliable and fast InterNet provider connection, let's say 50 mb/sec, and the Seeder has less for whatever reason, then he can get at most the weak link's transfer rate.
Added to this is the fact that the Seeder might not be aware of intermittent rate or interrupted connection because of any of a number of reasons.
Despite this, some people get fortunate and receive the whole download in just a few minutes.
The torrents will never stop until there are no more Seeders. That will be an indication that the download has no more demand.
It is generally a good idea to leave the torrent running while you sleep, both Seeds and Peers.

I think I remember Utorrent saying something about my system(?) not being configured correctly but I chose to DL it anyway in utorrent. Does it want me to turn off my firewall or anti-virus do you suppose? When The Little Lady leaves for a while I'll give it another go.
It could be the firewall, anti-malware, or both of them. During the setup configuring, what you specify must be compatible, for example: Since this is IL-2 related, make certain it is out Program Files.
Everyone see my previous post.

AVG is known to have problems with IL-2.

I find when im cheeky and dowloading stuff VIA torrent, I always find if its a popular file. It'll have a good amount of seeders, and a good download rate.

This one had a fair number of seeders, but a poor download rate. I stopped the torrent and am just downloading the mod normally
