Ok.. well I have no problems getting my torrents up to 600Kb/s - 740Kb/s. The only problem I have is the number of connections a torrent makes. When it gets to about 30 it degrades the connection and the speed suffers.
EDIT:
HERE I JUST SHOT THIS:

Well I noticed that I would never get to 500Mb/s if I have too much connections on one torrent. On private sites with their 100Mbits seed boxes I can afford to drop the connection count. Also I noticed that the Flow connection degrades to a halt if I have a torrent with 50 tcp connections or more and downloading from 30 or more peers/seeds simultaneously, from what I noticed Its not the amount of connection its the amount of simultaneous active transfers from a peer/seed. So by keeping my connection count down I have been able to max my speed and still browse comfortably.
Anyways I would love to hear the experience of others on this topic.
Well I have been able to achieve the same results using utorrent. The reason I prefer azureus is because I get better seeding results especially on the private sites where my ratio is very important. I don't think utorrent tries hard enough to connect to peers when seeding. But then again maybe It just needs some configuration tweak.
Well - I use CWJ with uTorrent and i get max whenever i using a Good Server. Max upload and max download.
Why does Flow look like so much hassle??
- Not working with specific hardware routers properly (eg. Linksys, etc)
- High Latency at times
- Varying settings for P2P activity
Look like i need to create a Flow sticky with all these threads linked with a summary of the information.
Or is this just a problem with cable connectivity???
The trouble with learning from experience
is that the test comes first and
the lesson afterwards
