se1zure Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 On windows I use utorrent, and pull on average between 200 and 600 kbps download speeds on torrents. On osx,I am using transmission, and am getting nothing over 80 kbps. What can I do to increase my down speed?

adam-_- Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 It's far more likely to be due to the different peers your downloading from than a specific windows vs. mac issue..

se1zure Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 port is open, i did find one torrent that got to around 300, but i have tried 15 others and am getting onyl around 80-90. I get a minimum of 180 like 99% of the time in windows. perhaps it's just transmission?
