I can't see it I don't know how I'm going to fix it. Can anyone give me
speeds for any other torrent besides ours?
Well I just added the Fedora 9 i686 live CD for comparison, I'm getting
1.0
MBytes per second.
So, on a new, less popular torrent like the Snap1 you see slow speeds. On
an older, more popular torrent you see faster speeds. How is the torrent
not behaving as it should again?
As someone else mentioned, the distribution of the chunks pushed to the
clients is supposed to be randomized. Apparently it isn't, we're all sitting
here with the same completion percentage and the exact same chunks, all trying
to download from the same one seed.
Explain the timeline on how that happens to everyone, at the same time,
all of us getting every other chunk except this one, and none of us has
completed it (except me and my two machines)?
Here's my theory:
At the border of someone's network there is a gateway that has been set
up to restrict the bandwidth of torrent packets severely. There is a
community of users that can access the seed without going through that
gateway. They can access the seed and share chunks at high speed. The
rest of the world, however, can only see the dribble of data that is
allowed through that gateway.
The only solution is to use another protocol to load a site on the
other side of that (unknown) gateway with a full seed.
