Hi folks,
I am not the type that is quite enthusiastic about torrents but looks like I have to learn - and I think it's better to hear the diversity of reasons on this forum. What makes torrents a better/attractive way to download/share files?
How can I speed up a torrent download? I mean, can I trick the app/system into downloading faster? I have to download a 2.7GB file over a 128/256Kbps link. This is normally not a problem if it's a regular file as I can get it down in a day or so using Download Accelerator. Now, with the torrent system, this thing is telling me about 22 years ETA (to get the file) :-)
*I know you are the admin in the network, if you are connected behind a firewall I believe that you should setup port forwarding. This will improve the incoming connection. Also try & use encryption since torrents may be blocked @ ISP level. I hope that helps.*
There is no viable alternative to the download at the moment since I don't want to register for their spam.
