i know its important to have a good number of seeders to get high download speeds...the torrents i'm downloading(from pirate bay) have around 50+ seeders even then I'm getting speeds in the range of 8-13 kBps and 10kBps on an average during night time when the connection speed is 256 kBps . I live in south delhi and am a heavy downloader so I was just wondering if these airtel guys put some kind of a filter to limit p2p traffic of those who download more than what the airtel guys can manage. Is there any one else in delhi who's getting speeds this low when downloading a torrent(hollywood movie, because the original seeders will be outside india and i'm guessing that this would make the downloading slow since the quake has put a limit on the international BW) from a public tracker. If no, I guess its the port forwarding thing that needs to be taken care of which is a pain in the ass.

ya bc gives descent speeds even w/o port forwarding. yaar when u're choosing a torrent jus hv a look at the present seeders and leechers, a torrent with about 30-40 peers(seed+leech) wud most probably give u the max of wot our bandwitdh has to offer. In Private trackers the case is diff, seeders r always good, so u don need to worry so much but in case of public trackers seeders matter.
ohh btw the taiwan crap does hav speeds crawling right now (1:05am) i'm getting a constant dwld rate of a mere 17 kBps 🙁, speed ki g**nd maar rakhi hai airtel waale ne :angry: :angry:[/b]
You are getting 17kB constantly while downloading a torrent or just during regular surfing. Is it a public tracker that you are using???
