Re: [dubailug] Speeding Bittorent

[Sean Craig - Snr Solutions Consultant - enigmatis]

How long do you wait monitoring your download rates?  Torrent downloads are dependant on the number of seeds and peers you are connected to, and their upload rates.  The longer you are online, the more clients you can potentially connect to.  Are you able to see which BitTorrent client your peers are using?  I'm not aware of certain clients excluding other clients.  Can anybody comment on this? I use Azureus which is Java based, and I get pretty good rates if I connect to decent peers. regards Sean aLT WiZard wrote: You got me wrong, I get better downloads on windows :p Im trying to download opensuse using debian and windows .

Bit Torrent is essentially a peer to peer network, so if you are getting better downloads on openSuSE than Debian then there is more people with openSuSE than Debian. daN -- _____________________________________________________________ " They that can give up liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
