which is the best p2p/torrent downloading programs?

[snoopy89]

hi there evry1. over the past few months ive tried various p2p and torrent clients and found that for me limewire pro and bitcomet are very good. howver i still dont seem to get good download speeds espaecailly when it comes to bitcomet even while im on a 2mb line.. i was wondering if anyone could suggest better programs to use for downloading instead..

Its not just the client you use .
Do you use a router ?
Have you configured port forwarding ?
What service provider are you with ? Some isps throttle certain ports which would cause poor results .

Then the next question is where are you downloading from ?
Some closed groups provide great speeds .
General googled torrent sites are not always the best places to go , just because a torrent has say 10-20 seeders doent mean you are going to get good speeds .

I use limewire, it's great, and really fast for me (im on 2MB dsl).

Also, try this thread m8 for good P2P software. http://www.world-of-digital.com/forums/showthread.php?t=58831

For bit torrent I use utorrent DC++ for anything else.

Technically, torrents are P2P. I reccomend BitComet for torrents.

Oh yeah and DC++.

In a nutshell, Newsgroups
thats all I use these days, coz torrents are far too slow imo.
Newsgroups max out any connection not like the varied speeds you would get on torrents.
Search about and find a good newsgroup, some are free but the best are for a small monthly fee.

Torrents are cool , and mIrc is more in your face till you sus it out , lol any good chanells you can give me GARRY

I use bitcomet and have had speeds of up to 170 KB per second on one torrent alone. Depending on the number of torrents I am downloading, I am normally downloading at a combined rate of about 221 KB per second.

But I suspect this is more to do with the line than the bittorrent client. Btw, my line is 2 meg.

I have noticed that if you limit your maximum allowed upload speed to about 13 KB per second, you get better download speeds overall. Any one else noticed that?

i lower my upload limit to 3k/s LOL, dont call me a leech, just a cautious sharer
