Well where do I start... both BitTorrent and BitComet do not download anything... or practically it's like .1kb/s. I tried port forwarding, which was successful because Torrent says it's open. And in BitComet I tried increasing the TCP to 100. But ALAS!! No luck. Hmmmmmmmmmm Iunno what else to do. Hmm. Erg.
We don't know what kind of speed your connection is capable of, until you tell us.
Don't forget to consider the speed capability of to whom you are connected.
The easy way to eliminate that as a possibility while you are testing your setup is to use a known, good, fast, .... very very fast, torrent.
You don't have to download the whole file - just enough to let you know everything is set up correctly. Then you can delete the downloaded data.
Go here:
http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.10and grab a torrent like this:
ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent 18-Oct-2007 08:32
and here:
http://borft.student.utwente.nl/~adrian/bt.phpand get:
OOo_2.3.1_Win32Intel_install_en-US.exe
Both of these torrents have hundreds of seeders, and will quickly go to your max download speed. Makes them very good for testing your set up.
You might also consider utorrent.
http://www.utorrent.comWorks well, and there is no "install". Just put the .exe in a dir and run it.
And... they have forums right there at that site. If you have problems, you can search those forums and likely somebody else will have already had the same problem, and the solution will be posted too.
