You might need to tweak with the BT software settings: my friend was using Bit Tornado and he thought it was slow until he discovered that by changing some settings, things improved markedly, like six to eight times... :)

yeah it has to involve some more in-depth analysis and such...personally, i think the problem might be a lack of port forwarding: opening a specific port in order to allow proper connection to peers and seeders...it sounds like that at least....anyways.

76 Seeds & 167 completed downloads. Now I'm just hoping I get some good feed back on my work.
I'm sure it's more than acceptable considering we've gone soooo long without subs for this drama. :sweat:

I think you are right. I've started looking at the settings and there is some kind of test with the ports which comes back with some kind of error. Naturally it's not going to tell me in every day English what the problem is or how to resolve it. :say_oops:
Anyone else here been watching the raws of Fushin no Toki? Really enjoying this show and I think I'll buy the DVD box set when it eventually gets released. Been looking around for an estimated release date but had no luck, although that said it hasn't finished airing yet. The wait between each episode is killing me. I need my Ryoko fix! :beaten:

I knew it!!! it didn't make any sense that you were the only guy in the world who couldn't use bitTorrent properly....actually i had the same problem when i first used bitTorrent/azureus but once i opened a port on my machine...it was smooth sailing there after.

exactly, since you have a firewalled connection as most do, you have to designate in Azureus, that you would like that port to be open to enable data to flow thru that port so you can share data with seeders and peers in BitTorrent.

I ran a NAT/server port test in Azureus. It is set for port 6881.
It comes back with NAT error. Yeah so what does that mean? :bleh:
Quick lesson. NAT stands for Network Address Translation. It allows multiple computers (i.e. a home network) to use 1 IP address (given by the ISP).
For the geeks, this is shown by addresses on your machine in the 192.168.x.x range (<- this is part of the unreachable internet address space)
Azureus uses port 6881 for communication....for example, finding other peers to connect and transfer data to. If that port is being blocked by a firewall, then the program is not able to communicate to the outside, and you are therefore limited in your connection. Opening this port in your firewall will dramatically increase your BT transfer speed.
Edit: This is treading really close to the Computer thread realm, so....

I may break my "no watching" trend to watch the first episode of Okusama no Majou tonite. That is, if I'm not tired from the commute. :sweat:
