So I followed the advice give http://www.realpoor.com/viewtopic.php?t=40134]here for getting a command line torrent client on my linux box and grabbed the lastest client from bittorrent.com. Dunn and Motherface were right, I love screens and now use them constantly, but I"m seeing s****y download/ul rates.
I have the box firewalled via iptables to only allow outside access to ssh, ftp and port 80 but have it set to allow established connections to any port, so the client should be able to connect to any port outgoing and allow uploads.
I've tried about 10 different torrents to see if it was just a problem with a few but it doesn't seem to be.
98% of the time when I start a new torrent on the cmd line it'll stay at 0kb/sec upload and no more than 9 - 20k/sec download. Even when I use the --forwarded_port 500 option and explicitly allow port 500 in the firewall. I've played with the --max_upload_speed option and usually define it at 40 or 50 but it doesn't seem to make a difference.
I can take the exact same torrents, upload them to my XP machine and get 70 - 250k/sec down and 50 - 100k/sec up easy.
I also tried torrentflux and what I see there is I upload a torrent to it, and try and run it and it immediately tells me the torrent died. But the same torrent on the XP machine works fine.
Anyone run into anything like this before?[/url]
