Torrent speed is limited by the seeders... if you dont have enough seeders = their max upload speeds...

With rapidshare (co-incidentally with hamachi network with other Internode users also) I was maxing my speed.... there is no way you can compare torrent to a direct DL. Especially when you are downloading from Aust sites...

well i'd thought i'd had it optimised as best as i can, i have a billion 7300g, best router I've used so far, got any tips ash?

Without looking up the router specs to match your torrent client - Nope :D

If i get bored i might. What torrent client you using?

Also ensure the latest firmware is on there, often that can make all the difference.

I max my speed out with torrents, i can have 10 people seeding to me.

It's not the number of seeders, it's the swarm speed that matters.

500 people upload @ 1kb/s on one torrent... yet 10 people upload @ 500kb/s on the next - guess which is faster :banana:

I can see the same speed via torrent as i can direct download from Aust sites.

Only issue with torrent is it takes 1-5 mins to register and "speed up" once links are created. Usually im running max in under 1min.

You don't always get a large amount of seeds to dls though...

500 x 1 or 10 x 500 :D

I dunno, torrents don't suit the projectw use so its useless to meh =D

Download skinnier chicks... they won't take up all the bandwidth

They might get hungry for some if you have it spare or worse yet they might have a memory leak :banana:

using utorrent, hmm well I remember back in the day having to create a static IP for my pc and manually setting up port forwarding on a linkysys router just to get torrents working properly, surely that's not going to make things any faster in this circumstance!

interesting comment about the firmware, I was under the impression that it wouldn't do much at all!

Ok 7300g

Max connections you want is around 750 or the router is going to shit itself much above that as it has around 800-1000 connection limit or there abouts.

If using utorrent you need to decide how you are going to download.

1 Torrent at a time - set max connections per torrent to around 650

More than one torrent - divide 650 by the amount of torrents you want to have running

There are some other things you can change, but im assuming you don't have any issues at the moment with drop outs and so on.

If you do, post up. I'll have the fixes for it :P

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.

      I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty much anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.

      I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.

      I always use my Karcher, but it's only a little one that I picked up from Supercheap  The only issue I ever had with a pressure washer was when I was a kid cleaning coaches, they had a hi-po industrial sized petrol jobbie that would strip paint if you got to close I saying this, we have a fairly high power washer at work with a diesel powered heater that sprays water at about 60°c, it works great for removing old wax and road grime on the underbody after some foam cannon action, albeit from a "stand off" distance of a few feet

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
