Title: slow bittorrent speed
Post by: bechau on July 21, 2010, 08:37:08 PM

I'm downloading a same file using utorrent (from my computer) and bittorrent download manager (installed on my LS-QL).

I notice a difference in speed with LS-QL's being much slower.

My LS-QL settings were set to unlimited speed and using 58500 port.

Anyone how to fix this?

Lots of possible reasons:

Is the torrent well seeded? Might want to test on a popular linux distro or video from vodo.net

Are you comparing apples to apples? Same torrent on PC and NAS at roughly the same time?

Is your port forwarded in your router? Routers are often flaky about accepting settings, so you may want to restart.

Have you restarted your NAS since the port assignment? Shouldn't make a difference, but you may want to try.

My comparison was for the exact same torrent and at the same time.

I have forwarded 6881-6888, 58500 and 8080 in my Belkin router.

I have also restarted both my router and NAS but to no success.

Are you getting a different in performance from your NAS?

What port do you use?

Do you have the bitTorrent client using the default of 9090? 8080 might be reserved on the router internally as that port is usually reserved for HTTPS.
