Copy down that port number . Then follow 3) instruction to go to your broadband modem/ router - there you are going to tell the firewall session to ignore that listening port that is used by bit comet&nbsp; by asking&nbsp; it to ignore range xxxx to xxxxx&nbsp;&nbsp;(xxxxxx is the listening port you copy from bitcomet just now ).</p> <p>&nbsp;If you done it correctly ... your should instantly notice a significant to huge change in your kb/s rate.</p> Fri, 14 Mar 2008 18:02:05 +0800 sgforums.com:2250:217894:7933544 storywolf http://sgforums.com/forums/2250/topics/217894 <p>Don’t ever download MS update <span class="">KB941644</span> and <span class="">KB943485</span>, your torrent tracker will become proxy connect error.

The number of seeds<br /> <br /> 2. The number of leeches<br /> <br /> The higher the number of seeds, the faster your download. The reverse is true if the number of leeches is high.<br /> <br /> At different times of the day, there are different number of people seeding or leeching, which resulted in a fluctuate.<br /> <br /> As for why it's slow... it's caused by the seeding and leeching as well. Because it's a peer-to-peer technology, everybody is a server as well as a user. You as a server is limited by your ISP.<br /> <br /> For direct downloads, it's faster because more bandwidth are generally allocated to them, plus it's their purpose to serve, not do other things, which speeds up things a lot.</p> Mon, 04 Jun 2007 13:15:59 +0800 sgforums.com:2250:217894:6605622 ndmmxiaomayi http://sgforums.com/forums/2250/topics/217894
