Adam Easy Wishes Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Is there a way to speed torrents up?I've briefly read about opening ports and things but is the hassle of doing it worth it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aekido Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 What BT downloader do you use?get Vuze, and you can open the ports so that you dont have any restrictive speeds on your downloads due to your internet connection speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marsh Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Okay, i've just downloaded this too for a shottie - seems really good but how can i specify which files I want to download from a torrent? In utorrent it comes up with a window showing the files within the torrent and you could specify what you wanted to download. Can you tell me if you can do this as it's an essential feature for me.Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kernel Loaf Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 I downloaded Azureus and it had Vuze aswell but I hated it. Reminded me of Veoh but shitter.I'd recommend Torrent, and its a fairly small app and fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aekido Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 I've used both utorrent and vuze, and I'd say vuze is much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marsh Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 I've gone back to utorrent. Couldn't figure out Vuze - far, far too complicated and I was getting sick of "HD content" being shoved down my throat. There's far too much going on and I hate programs that try and make you do what it wants you to do or when you have to look at certain things when it boots up. The fact it has to boot up is annoying enough in iteslef. utorrent comes up instantly with a list of the files in a torrent - you click what you want and it's away It's also a far lighter application and therefore better in my book. Also, haven't seen a slight change of speed between the two apps using optomised settings. I had a right good trawl round the web and tried a few different settings combonations and used what I reckoned best for each app. Doesnae seem to make any kind of difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattJimF Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 This is a good site for getting set up properly, it's based on Azureus but works just as well with Utorrent. Also your bear in mind your ISP may limit speeds during peak hours (usually 4pm - 11pm). Also private sites will give better speeds then the public ones.
