Seeding's slowed down, ranging from 8 to 25 KiB/s. 358 MiB out of 4.1 GiB uploaded so far.
Getting worse. 600 B/s to 2.2 KiBs.

Seeding with a upspeed of 2 MB/s and will keep it running for a while (I will have to do some backups myself before I make "the move")

Sounds like maybe your ISP is "traffic shaping" :mad:

They probably think I'm a pirate. Aahaaaaaargh, shiver me timbers!!! :)

What do you mean the torrent wasn't working well?

I just came back from work and am going to burn the iso downloaded overnight.

... and here's your trusty companion:

The speed was really low, and it wasn't gonna download soon.

Looks like I might be the only one seeding right now.

Ok, I thought there was something wrong with the the Slackware torrent file or ISO.

I've been continually seeding it for the last 18 hours and (as promised) am not going to stop for a month. I don't usually switch off that computer anyway.
My upload is not great. I seed an average of 30KiB/s and so far have seeded 1230MB.

It must have been something strange, now it's:
\ S:0/201 L:6/169 C:50 R=402.15 D=0 U=10 K/s seeding 66:59

that's from ctorrent.

I'm downloading via torrent just now and it's agonizingly slow - download 8 KiB/s on average, so only 7 days to go!

EDIT: the reason for the slow download might be that most (80%) of my peers are currently choked.

I'll seed for the next few weeks hopefully.

I've stopped my seeding. It had gone down to 0 to 112 B/s.

I've found that for a faster bittorrent experience I have to have TCP 6881-6999 port forwarded to the machine running bittorrent. There are also many settings that can be tweaked based on the help screen:
I created a bash script that I run from a terminal that saves my torrent files to the directory $HOME/Bittorrent. Right now my 7MB/5MB VDSL2 connection is running at a steady 800 KB/s down and 200 KB/s up:
YMMV!

Took my laptop home (different ISP) and wham! 4.0 GiB downloaded in an hour.

Now seeding with uploading varying from 10-100 KiB/s.

I'm having trouble getting the torrent to download using Ktorrent. It fails on "Announcing" with "Invalid response from tracker".

I'll keep trying over the next few days. I can't wait to get it all up and running :D

Edit: This is attempting to get the 13.1 32bit Full install dvd from the slackware website.

Edit 2: Installed Transmission and its working just fine.. Disregard this post :)

I've noticed my 32 bit torrents died yesterday and stayed at 0 for over 24hours while my 64 bit torrent has been steadily uploading at 200+k for 2 days straight. I was going to delete my 32 bit iso's if this seemed normal to anyone else since I have limited space on that machine. Have others noticed the same thing?
