How to increase uploading speed???

**Dream** · #1 03-02-2006, 02:39 AM

My upload speed does not go beyond 20kb/s :-( It is supposed to be way more than that. Most of the time I am not downloading anything, uploading those files which have many leechers unfortunately still it is not going up.

Sometimes there are many leechers but my upload speed for that file is 0kb/s!!!! :( :(

Can any one please tell why it is happening and how can I increase the rate?

Thanks but I just switched to Bitcomet few months back as many people recommended this. Unfortunately it is not working for me either, I have doubt if "Azureus" will do any better.

This is really frustrating!!!!!!!

Thanks. Do I need to uninstall Bitcomet for that? or, Azerous can work along with Bitcomet?

**taposhbhai** · #9 03-02-2006, 05:48 AM

u don't have to uninstall Bitcomet. but after installing Azurous ur default torrent program will be azurous. if it doesn't work for u then u can go back to ur old client. if u like it then u can uninstall bitcoment.

NO NO.

say u r downloading a file with Bitcomet which is 50% done.then u have started Azerous to d/l the same file.it wont start from the beginning.it will start from the point Bitcomet left (50% in this case).

so dont worry about that.

Looks like you have already been adviced well..as always in this site.

However, try to run a speed test before doing all that. Go to www.dslreports.com and run a speed test. Sometime you do not get actual upload speed from the ISP as it was advertised. Also keep in mind that there is a difference between kB and KB.

Eventhough you dont have a router, sometime dsl modems have built in firewall. So, once you have installed azurues, run a NAT / Firewall test from the tools menu. Also, sometime in the setting, upload speed are pre-defined. Maybe for the setup you have chosen, your client restricting you to upload at that speed. You may need to go through a manual setup to incearse / unrestrict your upload speed.

In the internet explorer, type 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.0.1 to see if any sort of set up page appears or not.

Keep us posted.

http://azureus.sourceforge.net/ - that's the official web page for Azureus.

Thanks Zitu82, yeah I got it from that site. Unfortunately could not install it(though it said isntallation successfully finished but later windows failed to recognize it), I tried for 4-5 times and it was showing error everytime.

I just got Azureus. It didn't transfer my seeding files from Bitcomet

It won't transfer itself. Download the torrent file, save it on your hard disk. Then open it using Azureus and link it to the file you have downloaded on your hard disk (not the torrent file). I'm using Azureus too. I prefer it more than bitcomet.

I guess you're the admin of the PC you're using.

Which OS you're using ? XP? You might have to unblock it for the firewall setting. Or if you have any registry checker installed like SpyBot and you didn't let it change registry you might not able to run it. Moreover you might be behind a hardware firewall in that case you have to open the port through set up page. Try http://192.168.1.1, http://192.168.0.1 , http://10.1.1.1 those range of pages.

If you can post a screen shot of the error message or more information about the exact error BT sure can help you better.

I stopped using azureus about 4 months ago and still living happily with BitComet no probs.
