RE: [H] Weird BitTorrent problem
Here in Kent, SE of Seattle, I get 6 down and not sure what up, for 48.95. That is EarthLink thru Comcast leasing the modem, although I think that it is lower with cable TV.

Re: [H] Weird BitTorrent problem
I hope you will like the Western way of life and an advance welcome to Spokane. As with everywhere there are always a few drawbacks, though. If you have never been here the topography is something you are not accustomed on most of the East Coast and we are at ~1800+ feet elevation in the lower areas. Getting way OT here so will back off for awhile. BTW I feel luck if I can get 50-75K d/l speed on the torrents. I do use BitLord and have tried other and did not care for them. I did get a speed increase when I set the port to 49502...about 25k on the average. I do agree that Comcast is probably clamping on P2P.

Not really. BT breaks up all files no matter how big into small pieces and is uploading/downloading them all at the same time. But it's not uncommon to wait a couple of days for a download that big.

This is changing at the end of the month to 8Mb MAX down and 786Kb MAX down (this is rate adaptive to suit the quality of your line). I'm also limited to 50GB of downloads a month between 08:00 and 00:00 (00:00 to 08:00 is un-metered). Boy would I like the deal you are getting...

Re: [H] Weird BitTorrent problem
Yeah. According to this page: http://www.cox.com/Fairfax/HighSpeedInternet/premier.asp it is 15/2 in Fairfax, for $55/mo. You on the $20 off for 3 months promo? NOVA and DC are the two places I knew for certain Cox was offering 15/2. They're pushing 9/1 in other competitive areas around the country. Major turnaround for NOVA, though. For years the laughing stock of the broadband community...and now there are tiers as high or higher than anywhere else. - Original Message - From: Hayes Elkins [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: hardware@hardwaregroup.com Sent: Saturday, March 25, 2006 6:39 PM Subject: Re: [H] Weird BitTorrent problem Fairfax county (Virginia) From: Greg Sevart [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: The Hardware List hardware@hardwaregroup.com To: The Hardware List hardware@hardwaregroup.com Subject: Re: [H] Weird BitTorrent problem Date: Sat, 25 Mar 2006 18:18:53 -0600 - Original Message - From: Hayes Elkins [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: hardware@hardwaregroup.com Sent: Saturday, March 25, 2006 2:03 PM Subject: Re: [H] Weird BitTorrent problem HAHAHAHAHAHAHA 2003 called Cable and phone companies are giving bandwidth away these days.

Re: [H] Weird BitTorrent problem
It's $20 off for six months for me, plus $5 off for using their phone product. The 2Mb cap is non-existant, real world upload is just under 5Mb. Funny thing is that the normal package subscribers report DL as good as premier accounts. Tons of bandwith here in the Washington DC area for the taking.

Re: [H] Weird BitTorrent problem
If you know the name of the file your looking for just shop around until you find the fastest speed and shut the others down. Works for me.

I get ISOs (DVD ISOs) via Torrent (Mandrake is a great example) which are 6.77G or whatever, and generally I get around 400k/s. So, just start in the evening, done by the morning. Man, I would die for Torrent speeds like that.. Torrent files of 3-4G takes days and days.. ISP's must be throttling Torrent.. Bill
Re: [H] Weird BitTorrent problem
Comcast here in Spokane is $42.95(if you subscribe to cable..~$55 if you don't) for 4MB down and 384 up(and that just went up a couple of months ago). DSL is limited here...not many COsso the bandits have no competition. Phone company Quest is making some noise but I wonder if they are very serious as all the do is funnel our money to the heavy competition locations.

[H] Weird BitTorrent problem
I have noticed recently with a few torrents that when I load them in the program (right now I am using uTorrent but this affects Azureus as well) it gives me a Not eough free space on the drive error. Even when I am downloading a 5GB file onto a drive with 100GB of free space, it happens. Is this an known bug of some sort or possibly corrupted torrents? -- Brian
