45 Hours and 14%

[Domono]

I recently had 1 of my hds crash lost my nurato eps. So, i atemped to redownload them. I've have 10mb cable so its not my speed and im not caping my upload. Yet I've been connected almost 45 hours and have a measly 14%. Are you having problems with ur seeds or whats goin on i would really like finish these downloads so i can burn to dvd. Any Help would be apretieted , Thx

What client do you use? Sounds like there are no seeds. Try another site/tracker/torrent or what it's called.

Bit tornado and Im haveing no problem with the 51-7140% in 23hours , but 126-144 and 101-125 are now going on 55 hours with seeds and have finally made 15%

There's quite a few seeds (>100 for all the naruto batch torrents), and quite a large swarm size (>700 for all of them too). So I don't think that's the problem.

You might be having problems with your ISP limiting bittorrent's default ports (which is happening more and more these days), so you might consider switching what port your client uses, if you are running on the standard ones. Also, are you sure the ports you're using are forwarded appropriately (if you've got a router)? And that if you're running firewall software (including windows firewall), you've got inbound tcp connections on that port (or just for that application) allowed? These might be good things to check.

More to the point, just because your cable is 10 megabit (which doesn't seem right, that's a roadrunner netblock) doesn't mean your upload isn't tiny. I've got 7 megabit down, but only 384 kbit up... and my upload is more than happy to choke my download. What sort of inbound and outbound is your client reporting? Are you uploading a lot and trickling in the download? Is the rest of your internet experience acting up?

It's also possible that the torrent's just slow. A lot of the people hanging on the batches aren't fast, or aren't contributing back to them as much as on new releases. And the best seeds don't seed the batches either, because they're too busy seeding new releases instead of very large, very old bundles. So, it's possible that it's just a slow swarm. But I don't think that'd account for the level of slowness you're seeing, by itself.

edit whoa ... you're grabbing them all at once? Hello resource contention!
