Bittorrent discussion/questions/help

Have tried using BitComet for about a week already. What can I say? Its good! The memory usage is pretty low for a client, and the DL/UL speed is decent. The UI is pretty, will really recommend it. Will try to play around abit more with the settings/configs/ports for better connection :) Any tips?

i use bitcomet more because of it's ease of use and it has a nice layout... but like most ppl who use it it's a bit slow...

when you say 'slow' are you thalking about the app or the network? doesn't all BT clients have the same speed, depending on the ISP?

Some clients might tweak some settings to squeeze more bandwidth, but overall the download speeds should be similar.

A bit OT here, I'm just curious on how long does it take you to download one 45 min dorama ep ?

It all depends on the number of seeders (and their upload speeds). I think the fastest time to download an entire episode (~300MB) was 10-12 minutes.

i dont use bittornado anymore, i love bitspirit.. its the best. :mrgreen:

Wow that's fast. Does it refer to T1 users only or does it also apply for DSL 192 kbps?

anybody have Bittorrent!? i was thinkin of gettin it..
so i went 2 the website, i picked dl.
but whats MIRROR!? which one do i pick!?
please HELP

sigh.. hello theres lots of topics regarding bt, i think most of us u can only get dramas on bt anyway, so yes we do. i think u meant you're trying to get a bt program to dl bt right? i use bittornado sometimes bec. u can change the upload/download ranges but i mostly use bitspirit bec. my dsl connection is kinda slow and its good for slow connections :beaten: but a lot of people uses bitcomet too, it just depends on your judgement and try either one of those and see whats best for you.

and mirrors are secondary links, in case if the main link doesnt work, busy or down, try downloading the mirror links.

Aren't there multiple threads on this subject? :headscratch:

These people have gotta learn to fend for themselves.

Most people use either BitComet or uTorrent. But BitComet is banned on every Grateful Dead torrent site. Think the reason has something to do with DHT and Peer Exchange but not 100% sure (never tried BitComet because of the banning).

The Azureus users are fanatic about their client.

IMO, uTorrent is the way to go.

I was dickin' around with uTorrent yesterday but I had all these settings to configure... :bleh: :sweat:

I'll try again tonight.
