Without port forewording turned on, your bandwidth goes down the drain. Mainly because, most people are behind NAT's and thus, can only connect out (not receive connections in). So, the people with an "real" ip (or port-forewording through their firewall) receive that extra bandwidth because they can receive incoming connections.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9683217 Mon, 15 Mar 2004 13:23:56 EDT Re: New method of choice.... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9673183 Googled :

BT is my 'last choice' due to its S L O W download speed. if theres something i want and cant get it off news server or IRC and i still want it bad enough i'll do the BT thing but only as last resort.
Your download speed with BT is directly related to your upload speed. If your upload speed is limited to 0 or some other low number your download speed will suck as well.

I think that nicely explains why BT doesn't even work over my satellite "broadband" connection.

Torrents are now almost my exclusive method of file transfer. I like the idea of everyone sharing their bandwidth.

It's hard to donate to every project I feel is worthy so by my allowing twice the upload total as the download total of the torrent before I close it out, I feel like I am giving something back.
