p2p sucks

said by Anav:

Torrents never work.
Never donwload anything, always searching or down tracker etc...... Its like there are a gazillion links and none are active... meanwhile on sharazza all the regular single file downloads/searches work well.
I get this on my shareaze startup. Maybe due to this downloads are laughably slow.

I am on 256 dsl but it seems like I am on 14.4 k dialup on shareaza.

I tried utorrent and though it was no great shakes either, atleast it was a little faster than shareaza. I checked the port forwarding bit on it and it seemed to be working.

The problem in utorrent is that it is uplaoding twice the speed at which is downloading stuff. It's like I give and give and give and inb return what do I get? NOTHING!

also, searching for torrents is a pain.

seriously, I have been very disappointed with p2p. If these are the speeds on broadband, god help those who are on dialup!

Not only that, I get down trackers, queued but no sources, oh yes and the searching bull as well (and I do pick top rated ones (most seeds etc...).

Thus I come to the same conclusion torrents suck.

Im not sure if I read that right but this seems like a case of User Error here. If you send me the Torrent File it will probably work just fine for me.

I dont see why you would say Torrents suck because of this.
