Smo™ Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 (edited) Hey guys, I'm having a problem with my Azureus client. Whenever it feels like it, it closes itself. This really pisses me off as sometimes I'll leave it running overnight, expecting my download to be done when I wake up. However it'll close 5 minutes after I go to bed. Is there any kind of software that will run Azureus after it closes? Maybe some kind of scheduler than checks to see if a certain .exe is running, and if not, to start it? Cheers.

Danny Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Seams odd. Ive recently changed from using Azureus to using uTorrent you could try that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smo™ Posted October 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Thanks for the suggestion but the download speeds I'm getting are appauling. My connection is capable of downloading at ~220-250kb/s but with this I'm getting like 30-50kb/s. I'm using port 6885 and have forwarded the range 6881-6889 on both TCP and UDP so I'm finding it quite hard to figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Danny Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Just a bad torrent? As long as its saying 'network ok' at the bottom all the setup is fine. Wheres the torrent from? The only reason it could be slower is that it doesnt support DHT yet but that isnt a problem as long as the tracker isnt down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smo™ Posted October 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Well the only speeds I have ever gotten from any torrent program is a maximum of 60kb/s. I'm dubious it's because of the tracker as I've downloaded many things. The tracker is: http://perpetualnight-tracker-3.no-ip.org:8268/announce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 You'll never really max out your connection unless you find a torrent with loads of people seeding. Have you got your upload speed limited at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smo™ Posted October 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Yeah I did a speed test on my connection and decided to limit my upload speed to 25kb/s. There's a story going round that the more you share, the faster speeds you can download at but personally I think that's bullshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some, I know for a fact cap people with low ratios and give better d/l speeds to people with higher ratios. Most don't so, I'm not sure.

Danny Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Cap your upload speed at about 10k and see if you see an improvement. If you saturate your upload your download will slow. Depends who owns the tracker. Some, I know for a fact cap people with low ratios and give better d/l speeds to people with higher ratios. Most don't so, I'm not sure. Some private trackers (ie ones you have to sign upto) have a ratio system meaning you cant download the latest stuff for a fixed length of time if you have a low ratio. For public sites like torrentspy it doesnt matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 What? Is it a laptop? Laptops usually put themselves to sleep after a few minutes I think. Go on start, control panel, power settings. And check that sleep, shut hard disks off etc are all set to "never". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It closes itself even when I'm sat here actively browsing the web or something similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
