Ok i compiled and installed from source.DHT is on at last and i got some hundred's of nodes.
Ok the problem which as i can read here is a common problem to almost everyone is slow up and down speeds.
My true bandwith is 696 down and 174 up.
I have 3 dowbloads running and what i get is stalled/downloading and a maximun of 30kb/s down while average dl speed is between o-5.5kb/s
Up speed on seeded torrents is maximum 10 kb/s (most of the time zero though)
Dunno what to do.
I used bittorrent the one that was one suse dvd which is 1-1.5 years old and i got some 60 dl speeds.(average)
Dunno...
Here are my settings if this helps
Novell Suse 10
KDE 3.5.4 release 78.1 OpenSuse
ktorrent 2.02(compiled from source)
Settings:
Maximum Dl 0
Maximun seeds 0
Maximum Connections per torrent 120
Global connection limit 800
Maximum upload speed 16
Maximum dl speed 60
Port 10020
UDP port 4444
Number of upload slots 5
Memory Usage high
DHT UDP port 6881
I have forwarded all required ports to my rouuter and Suse firewall


Cheers

There are some improvements regarding speed issues in SVN trunk. See http://ktorrent.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=869

It would be good if more people could confirm that these changes improved speed, so it would be great if you could compile the latest SVN version and try that.

Well i get some better speeds but still very low.
I have a maximum of 30 kb/s dl speed again.But the averge is higher than before.Im between 25-30kb/s.But still not 60-70 as it should be
