P2P ports
Posted by Bob Smith on September 24th, 2005


Hi,

Just got my upgrade from 512 to 1M from Tiscali, and the speeds are working
fine for browsing and downloading files using getright. The only problem is
that my P2P software (Azureus) won't go any faster than 60k/s.

I have tried many ports, and cannot get better than port 80. Whatever port
I choose and enter into my router, I get a green light (communicating with
the tracker correctly), but the transfer speeds are about 10k/s. Using port
80 I get 60k/s. Ports 79 & 81 are again a crappy 10k/s.

Does anyone know any better ports to try?

TIA

Bob

Try anything above 50000 - I personally use 54321

The highest speed I've had with Azureus is about 90k/s and I'm on BT
Broadband 2MB.

Have a fead through this as well

Try BitComet, it may work better for you, though YMMV. Often get
cracking d/l speeds (on 2Mb ADSL - maxed out).

I assume that you have limited your upload speed to <80% of max.

Thanks for the replies. I have seen it get up to about 90k/s since posting.
Maybe it's my 256kb/s upload that is not getting the peers to be any more
generous than 90k/s. And I do limit the UL to 25k/s to let acknowledge
packets through.

With BitComet, there does not seem to be any relationship between
upload speed and d/l speed (other than a high upload choking the ADSL
connection as it would do with any type of traffic).
