I am on dsl and most of the time when downloading movies using the expiremental client my download speed is around 5kbs while my upload speed of the file at the same time is 20-25kbs, while I am all for sharing and it is the only way that the bittorent or any other p2p community can exist, it seems to take forever to get the file and by the time i have downloaded 700mbs I will have uploaded maybe 3 times as much ie 2.1 gigs etc.
Just my views on bittorent atm |
yeh, does take it's time for the torrent to pick up in speed. most of the time there are only about 4 or so seeders initially on a torrent, and a shitload of leechers. Personally i love it, the trick is just to d/l the torrent off of a popular tracker. Either that or wait a few days so the torrent has picked up in speed.. tbh i'm not lookin fwd to d/l terminator 3. Usually i join a tracker v.early on in it's life, which means that, yeh, you'll be uploading more than you d/l.
BT is a great proggie if you get on the right tracker. Otherwise it blows.
[edit - the 'experimental' client seems to be the best about atm. there's bt++ which seems to hog memory, stay away from that if poss.. trackers / sites seem to go down sooo quick nowerdays, turbotrance - if you find any decent trackers, plz pm me them, i'll do the same to you ]
