There is a neat little program called NetLimiter that allowes you to set what bandwith (up and down) a sertain program will be allowed to use, and you can see what connections (IP) they are connected to and limit them aswell. This allows you to save something for normal surfing/IMs/IRC and so on, and quickly redestribute where you need the speed.
It was worth every $ it costed and ofc. there is a free trial to download. Anyway, i think many ppl assumed it was common knolige that xDSL can suffer as it's not always full duplex. Look... a torrent will NEVER go fast then the swarm is sending, no matter WHAT connection you are on. Sometimes i'm stuck with 3 seeds and 4k/s download.. sometimes it's 3 seeds and 1,3 MB/s download.. So remember that you are part of the swarm.. share your bandwith as much as you expect to get part of the share. Personaly i use ABC and uTorrent. No reasons realy why.. ABC seems to be able to handle heavy loads and uTorrent is fast when connecting to peers and get the loading going. Both have the option to select what to download in the torrent, and in what order. Usefull to say the least, sometimes.

[/b][/quote] Seems like you don't have much experience of how a torrent work The target file(s) or whatever, is broken down into peices, usualy around 1-60 KB / peice. Then the torrent client seeks for ANY peice in any order. Once the peice is retrived and the hash is confirmed and adds up as it should if the peice is uncorrupted by the transfere, the peice is added to the local copy you'r building. So.. If you accidently shut down or the computer screws up, all confirmed peices are there next time you boot, and only the once that wasn't compleated is lost. The file(s) you'r downloading are not done until the torrent is at 100%. In theory you could get stuck at 99.99% with all files in the target not compleate, OR you could have 97% and have all essential files done, and perhaps only some stuff you didn't need anyway, not ready. Your client will request no specific peices unless you define what to download first. And when you are downloading, you are not (usualy) downloading the entire copy from ONE person, but rather a large number of ppl, most of them with only partial copies, as any peice, once it's done, is in the swarm as a share. If you are finished, and you have un Upload/download ratio of 400% (uploaded 4 times the ammount you've downloaded), the chanses are pretty good you actualy didn't share every single peice, but rather peices that wasn't shared by others. This is all to ensure that the most requested peice is quickly compensated and eliminating bottlenecks in the swarm. Example: User A starts sharing a file concisting of 10 peices, all numberd 1 to 10. User B downloads peice 1 from A User C downloads peice 6 from A User D downloads peice 2 from A now.. User B downloads peice 6 from C User D downloads peice 3 from A User C downloads peice 1 from B and so on... It eases the load from the innitial sharer. Essentialy a user can share his file X by downloading it once to an infinit number of ppl, as they themselves share amongst each other in the swarm.

I usually use Azureus, it seems like the best to me. I guess my computer has enough RAM to handle it hehe. I still need a major upgrade to play Oblivion though haha.

Bit torrent is a peice of ****. When you disable it's auto start since it waists tons or resources when you run it it re enables it with a new entry with out so much as a dialog asking you if you want to do it. Ive been looking for somthing different so i'll try the ones suggested.

DC++ is fastest way to achieve files, but if someone disconnects or delete the files ... The End. BTW - it's not always easy to find what You need ... eMule - slow as slowest of the slimes ... but what I need -> I got it! Sometimes it takes a week, but it comes to me. And now my favourite: BitTorrent. Quite fast if downloading something new and popular. Pretty sure, that I'll get what I want (in two above systems I have found A LOT of fakes - in Torrents ... 2 or 3). And what makes it best -> nearly constant download. No queues like eMule, no need to wait for slots, or user disconnected. When it's on it means it's on and downloading!

You can't complain about the system but you can about the program. Does anyone know of a good bittorrent client.
