thanks guys i sort of new when I was using bitspirit it may lead to banning but who guest it would be a big deal if i got banned from a few sites lol…im using Azureus now…
i tried that torrent as well, within 30 seconds i was at 120k with numerous connections. stopped and disabled encryption, restarted azureus and waited 3 minutes, connected to 1 peer and 1 seed. re-enabled encryption and restarted, connected easily and was over 100 within 30 seconds.
am i being singled out by citywest here?
or by enabling encryption am i going incog on the tracker as well?
i was getting 500 kbs before i quit that file…
Nate thanks my download’s did get some what better with your info…
bitspirit sucks Azureus rocks…Thanks Mig and Nate for your help…
Yea, like I said, a shitty, or outdated client with bugs, or doing something the other torrent trackers/clients don’t like, will lead to getting blacklisted. Speeds won’t decrease immediately, but over time, as more and more clients/trackers ban you, eventually it’ll run like shit.
Honestly, I’ve experienced the exact same problem as the original poster. After doing much of the same research, and I am confident that the problem was a result of tracker blacklisting. Many of the major warez torrent aggregating websites host torrents that mostly reference a small number of major trackers, so getting blacklisted by one can cause you to be unable to access a huge number of torrents.
My only advice is to always adhere to a minimum 1:1 upload/download ratio.
