      Question Slow P2P/multipoint download

      Hi this is my first post!

      Im sure this question has been asked before so direction to a previous thread may help.

      Im on Sky Connect. In short I have great speed downloading from any sinlge site (download.com for example), up to 5MB infact. Problem is any multipoint peer 2 peer is totaly shocking (large amount of quality sources download speed of 5-10k!!!). Also being an avid Counter Strike Source player, I used to be with telewest and get a ping of less than 15, I now get a ping of around 70!! This is a real problem for me.

      I could do without so much speed for a better ping.

      Im not a technical Noob but Im not an expert either. Any help greatfully excepted.

      Thanks in advance.

      Arc.

      Welcome Arcanon.

      Sorry to break it to you mate but dark forces are at work on the connect package where P2P is involved.

      Welcome to the site Arcanon

      Moved to the correct forum

      You are in the same boat as all the users on the Connect package management measures are in place which is why you can get great speeds from everywhere else expect p2p and possibly Usenet as well.

      Re: Slow P2P/multipoint download

      I really dont see why people use usenet as iptorrents.com are as fast as that and free.

      speeds of 300-500 the norm on a good seeded file and on a great seeded file speeds of 1.4mbps.

      Re: Slow P2P/multipoint download

      If your on the connect package it doesn't matter how well seeded the torrents are or how fast a user on LLU can get them, a connect user will not hit speeds like that due to the way its controlled.

      As for Usenet that down to what individuals want everyone has there own preferences, I would much rather user them than torrents.

      Oh. This seems like *exactly* my problem too.

      I can't seem to find the connect forum thread - could someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks...

      (so is there no way around it?)

      Re: Slow P2P/multipoint download

      Thanks - that's the stuff I was playing with last night. Should this circumvent the connect restrictions then?

      The reason I ask - is that I had *no* luck at all with any of this last night, and was thinking that perhaps it was the connect package that was my problem, and not the port-forwarding etc...
