Anyone on here use Azureus?

Gimme a clue what a good set of setting are (including incoming TCP/UDP listen port numbers etc,) to get reasonable up/download speeds please

Many thanks in advance

Take a look at the Azureus Wiki. I guess the link is in the Help menu. Oh, and give uTorrent a try.

I have, can't make head nor tail of it TBH... I would like some known setting from someone else (if they don't mind...)

You have PM (but you have probably seen it by now )

You may find some ISPs apply QoS traffic shaping to bit torrent streams. They have realised that with such tools it throws the design of asynchronous network traffic patterns and associated network design back to the dark age. In order to get more downstream people need to feed more upstream and ISPs do not like upstream.

Check your ISP does not play silly buggers with your data.

All ISPs in the pipex group are now traffic shaping

This is a classic. I like this - a lot:

Sorry to derail Clive

I had problems with downloading torrents a few months back. This may help you (apologies if it's teaching you to suck eggs).

Ensure you're testing against a well-seeded torrent - something like Redhat linux would be a good bet.
I also found that limiting my download speed helped. I'm on ADSLMax and was getting about 20k/s downloads (when set to no download speed cap), but limiting to 300k/s meant on a well-seeded torrent, I'd actually get that. I've not tried increasing it above that.

Azureus will let you know if it has problems with your ports with one of the traffic lights at the bottom of the page. You may need to fiddle with your firewall/router if you're using them.

If you've still got problems, let us know your config and it should be stragiht forward enough to get it going.

Strange, i've not noticed any differences in downloading torrents
