timc Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 Anyone out there able/happy to do some bit torrent seeding? I'm 11 hours in and have 3 days to go. Not sure I can wait that long! Using fairly decent UK service with ok speed but could be that:cry:
159th_Falcon Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 sure, ill fire up bit torrent again. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] The keeper of all mathematical knowledge and the oracle of flight modeling.:)
Mustang Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 What is your ISP timc? some companies like BT (what i use) throttle torrents to 5kb/s during peak times such as 18:00 to midnight.

dne48 Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 Thanks from here also. Been at it 6 hours and still 14 hours to go. There has to be another way! Cable internet. Not the fastest but still nothing to complain about normally "To most people, the sky is the limit. To those who love aviation, the sky is home."-----anonymous
timc Posted May 5, 2012 Author Posted May 5, 2012 Gents (kind of assuming that's the case here...) Thanks to all for your help. Mustang, it's good old BT alright. I'm in Twickenham and can get some decent speeds but hadn't appreciate that they throttle torrents at certain times. Been down to 0.5kB in the last hour shoeing a completion time of 3 weeks! I'll stick it out; everything I've seen so far on this aircraft looks very impressive. How is Essex? Family are out that way and they've been complaining about the appalling rain. It's not like we're got a drought on or anything.
Mustang Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 Yeah give it until after midnight and then watch the speed open up ;) How is essex? yes cold and been damn wet, feels more like feburary than early may...oh well good enough reason to stay indoors and fly DCS :P
AlphaOneSix Posted May 6, 2012 Posted May 6, 2012 How seeding works is a mystery to me. I've been seeding since day 1, and I'm currently seeding at only 5.1kB/s, while my max is 7680kB/s. I've seeded 260GB so far (5227.9%, so just over 52 copies). I just don't get why some people get such slow download times when I have so much bandwidth available for seeding....*shrug*

I suspect Comcast may be one of them as well.

ARM505 Posted May 6, 2012 Posted May 6, 2012 Done overnight (or less, I was sleeping :) ), and that's in South Africa (aka arse end of the world), been seeding at unlimited ever since...
FunktasticLucky Posted May 6, 2012 Posted May 6, 2012 I went ahead and opened my back up and flipped it over to unlimited upload. She's sitting at about 600KB/sec right now. I don't know why you all are having a hard time. I would think it's your ISP. I'm running NTT Docomo Fiber at my place and I was downloading at around 6-15MB/sec. I had the game in about 20-25 minutes... I started it. Watched an episode of How I met your Mother and came back and played some P-51. ;)
