Torrent Help!
 
I am downloading a film using uTorrent.

It says that the download time to take is 3 days?

Is that right?

I started to download a few minutes ago. It is currently 0% complete. Although it is downloading as the download time is running.

Firewire 07-04-2009 07:22 AM

OK. It is currently at 0.2%.

Firewire 07-04-2009 07:25 AM

And it keeps changing from 2 days to 3 days then to 4 days and then back again.

its totally dependant on you internet connection! And what time of day you download it!

between 10pm and 4am is when you get the faster download speeds because the seeders are are all online in America!!

at home here i get about 200k/bs were as in glasgow it's nearer 500k/bs

Dowload it. Search for a torrent online. And it will automatically download in uTorrent. But it might probably take ages.

Sorry I dont use torrents, I download my videos from media converter via youtube/dailymotin

Deirdre 07-04-2009 09:12 AM

I just usually leave it on overnight. And always download the torrent with the most seeds, faster that way

xDramatick 07-04-2009 10:12 AM

I gave up using torrents lmfao.
They were always slow unless my bf did it for me lol.

Hugo 07-04-2009 11:04 AM

Films usually take about a day to download, just a bit less than a day. Leave your computer on over night and it will be done in the morning, it speeds up and slows down at different times.

It also goes faster if you're not doing anything on it whilst its downloading, thats why it normally completes overnight.

I usually get between 10-50 kB/s for movies from piratebay. Your actually downloading from 40 or 50 other computers across the internet, it's not all downloading from one site so depends on how many other users have the file. Make sure, if you using utorrent, that you have the little green tick down at the bottom of the utorrent screen... it means your network is ok and you setup utorrent properly.

I gave up on torrents - using file hosting websites is so much easier and faster. I downloaded a 901KB film last night in under 2 hours.
