I am in the process of trying to switch completely to linux, but I've run into the problem of horribly, horribly slow torrent speeds on Linux.
I use kTorrent to do most of my downloads. When I used uTorrent in Windows, I would get around 28-35kbps constant speeds with even a few peers. That is I could download a 700MB file in 8-9 hours. In linux using kTorrent, I'm getting speeds for 5-15 kbps no matter what I try. That is upto 24 hours for a 700MB file. This is frustrating to the point of making me want to switch back to Windows D: I have forwarded the right ports in my router configuration, I have disabled the SuSE firewall (I think at least...) and still no success. This speed wildly varies sometimes to normal 30kbps speeds, but the torrent I'm downloading has 1200 leechers and 74 peers, and still I'm getting an average speed of 12kbps. On another note, my general internet responsiveness seems slow even during regular browsing. Please help!
