Hi guys, new to the forum and have a few questions about download speeds and BitComet itself.
In the past I have used clients such as uTorrent and Azureus, along with other clients that claim to be the fastest. I have always seen BitComet around and just never bothered trying it as the name did not sound very catchy (don't hate me for that).
Either way, since downloading BitComet and downloading a few files (some I have downloaded previously, just to test the speed) I noticed a massive hike in download speeds. From most other clients I was maxing around 700kB/s and on the odd (very very odd) occasion I would see it rise over 1000kB/s.
With BitComet I am getting an average download speed of 1000kB/s and onwards, sometimes in the high 1000. For the last month I have been trying to download a 20GB file, with over 5000 seeders, but only getting 100kB/s download speed. I tried downloading that file on 3 or 4 other clients but still then same deal.
While I am typing this, I am downloading that exact same file, but this time with BitComet, and instead of only having a 100kB/s download speed, I am sitting steadily on 1500kB/s (might not be fast to some, but it lighting to me).
So I have a three part question:-
1. Why and how does BitComet allow me to download at such higher speeds then other clients?
2. I am an ADSL2+ user, with supposed 20Mbps download (I get 15Mbps on a good day), do download speeds of about 1500kB/s sound good or could I be getting better? If so, how?
and
2. What is your average download speed when downloading 1GB+ files using BitComet?
Note: I have opened ports, and configured settings to be able to download at unlimited speeds. If that helps.
