SLOW SPEEDS WHILE USING TORRENTS TO DOWNLOAD

Last week BT uncapped my service.
I believe im on a 16MB package, and my area can get up to 8MB I believe. My download rate it between 5-7MB.
However, when I download films using torrents, it always downloads slow (between 5kb - 50kb sometimes), then after midnight, or the early hours of the morning it can go to over 100kb...
during the day it always downloads low it is really really frustrting...
everything else is fast, streaming and the internet, but downloading torrents is so slow I do not understand why... 
Is there anything I can do? Any firmware updates or anything like that?
I have the black BT Homehub 2.0 - WIRELESS
Thanks in advance

  • I just bought my phone few days ago. From the day I bought it I realized the phone heats up after a little use. It gets really hot while using Wifi and downloading. Anyone else having these issues? What's the solution to this?

    Your VGA is definitely corrupted and it is irreparable, so just make the HP to change your vga.
    Also next time read my post on how to keep your laptop cool to avoid same issues again.
    I assume your laptop was pretty hot during some time and that's the result you've got.

  • Slow Speed While fetching data from SQL 2008 using DoQuery.

    Hello,
    I am working for an AddOn and tried to use DoQuery for fetching data from SQL 2008 in C#.
    There are around 148 records which full fill this query condition but it takes much time to fetch the data.
    I wanna know that is there any problem in this code by which my application is getting slower.
    I used break Points and checked it, I founds that while connecting to the server it is taking time.
    Code:
    // Get an initialized SBObob object
    oSBObob = (SAPbobsCOM.SBObob)oCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.BoBridge);
    //// Get an initialized Recordset object
    oRecordset = (SAPbobsCOM.Recordset)oCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.BoRecordset);
    string sqlstring = "select DocEntry,ItemCode From OWOR  where OWOR.Status='R' and DocEntry not in ( Select distinct(BaseRef) from IGE1 where IGE1.BaseRef = OWOR.DocEntry)";
    oRecordset.DoQuery(sqlstring);
    var ProductList = new BindingList<KeyValuePair<string, string>>();
    ProductList.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, string>("", "---Please Select---"));
    while (!(oRecordset.EoF))
    ProductList.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, string>(oRecordset.Fields.Item(0).Value.ToString(), oRecordset.Fields.Item(0).Value.ToString() + " ( " + oRecordset.Fields.Item(1).Value.ToString() + " ) "));
    oRecordset.MoveNext();
    cmbProductionOrder.ValueMember = "Key";
    cmbProductionOrder.DisplayMember = "Value";
    Thanks and Regards,

    Hi Ravi,
    your code and query look correct. But can you ellaborate a little bit.
    It seems to be a DI API program ( no UI API ) ?
    When you say "I founds that while connecting to the server it is taking time." do you mean the recordset query or the DI API connection to SBO ? The later would be "normal" since the connection can take up to 30 seconds.
    To get data it is usually better to use direct SQL connections.
    regards,
    Maik

  • Slow down while using aperture

    While using aperture the system become very slow.it takes much time to zoom in & out..to open the adjustment menus
    is there any way out??

    Aperture is a heavy pro graphics app that is very demanding of hardware. Your Mac's CPU, GPU, i/o and RAM are all limiting to Aperture so we need to do what we can to optimize. Some steps:
    • Set Previews to only be built manually, and only tell Aperture to build Previews when you are not otherwise editing in Aperture. I suggest setting the size of Previews to be the pixel dimensions of your display.
    • Keep the internal drive underfilled for speed, which sooner or later usually requires using a Referenced-Masters-Library with Masters on external drives. Back up originals before importing into Aperture or any other images app.
    • The Aperture Library should be on an internal drive.
    • Turn off Share Previews with iLife and iWork.
    • Remember that HDs slow as they fill and keep the internal drive underfilled. Approx. 70% full _maximum_ is a good guideline.
    • If page outs increase significantly during operation, max out RAM and/or try to run Aperture by itself. On my C2D MBP with its max of 3 GB RAM I always did a restart prior to a heavy Aperture session to clear any memory leaks and make sure no other apps were open. Browsers in particular will often suck RAM Aperture would otherwise be using.
    IMO all Aperture users who can should routinely bump RAM to at least 8 GB.
    • Some users have observed that it can take a new Aperture installation time (weeks) to stabilize on slow computers. So do not panic; and allow Aperture to continue background work by not fully shutting down the computer.

  • Getting slower speeds if using Apple Time Capsule?...

    Hi. Have had Infinity2 for a couple of weeks and am happy with the sevice - much faster than my old Virgin cable. When the engineer came he installed the white modem box and connected it to a Home Hub 4. With Virgin I used the Superhub in "modem" mode and connected it to my Time Capsule which handled all the wireless stuff. I was planning on doing the same kind of thing with the BT connection as I was very happy with the Time Capsules wireless performance. The Time Capsule is around 3 years old so it's not the newest one out but I was getting good speeds from the virgin service. After a search around the internet I found a forum instructing me to connect the white modem box directly to the Capsule and set the capsule up in PPPoE mode. This all worked really well but I was suprised at how slow the wireless connection was compared to the HomeHub. The HH4 got me around 71Mb bits per sec and the Capsule got me around 43Mb per sec. Can anyone give any guidence? I am happy with the wireless speed the HH4 is giving me but wite wifi signal can be erratic at times - some mornings a power cycle is needed to reset the wireless signal. Also, when my wife uses her hair dryer, this also sometimes knocks out the wireless signal and I have to reset. Any help would be great. Thank you

    My time capsule bust recently but before that I had it connected via. powerline adapters directly to the HH3 rather than to the modem.
    I know I only have infinity 1 but I used to get download speeds via. wifi of 37.6 - 37.8 from my 38.72 connection from the time capsules wifi.
    I now use an even older original Airport Express to create a WifFi network in the same manner and get exactly the same download results.
    I would recommend steering clear of the OpenReach Modem and connect the Time capsule to the HH4 and see if you get better results that way.
    I would also set your WiFi to 802.11n only (5GHz) to keep away from interferring signals.

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    Step 1
    This diagnostic procedure will query the system log for messages that may indicate a hardware fault. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator. I've tested them only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Channel t|GPU D|I/O|n Cause: -' | tail | open -ef
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, stop here and post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
    Step 2
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
    If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
    If you have a MacBook Pro with dual graphics, disable automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saverpreference pane for better performance at the cost of shorter battery life.
    Step 3
    When you notice the problem, launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
    Step 4
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

  • How is the processing speed while using struts,spring,and JSF framework

    Hi friends,
    As per earlier technology like Servlets,I mean that there would have much more performance speed than other new technologies like JSP,struts,spring and hibernate framework.Because,in new technologies,flow of processings implicitly via MVC2 basis will probably much more time than older one.
    Total goal is only for attaining MVC2 or any other purpose?
    Please clarify my doubt?
    With Regards,
    Stalin.G

    Home grown applications have a problem in that as more and more features are added, it becomes increasingly impossible to maintain the application and enhance it. This is especially true when the original programmers leave the company. A framework provides a standard design approach that other programmers can hopefully more easily pick up.
    A lot of work has gone into creating these frameworks and they have been used in web sites that have millions of hits from users per day. They have high preformance. Of course, programmers can still write bad code in them that slows down the system. I believe anyone using these frameworks should study them well before using them (such as reading books on them).

  • Slow playback while using pedometer

    Newbie here. Not sure if this has been covered. If so, please provide a link to the previous discussion.
    My 5th Gen iPod Nano has slow playback when I use the pedometer. Has there been any solution provided by Apple for this issue? I know I'm not the only one experiencing this problem.
    The reason I bought the 5th Gen Nano was because of the pedometer feature so if it doesn't work properly, it's kind of a waste of my money.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I had the same problem, but never knew it was because of the pedometer. It would start skipping and slowing the beat after a few minutes of running. I tried all different kinds of arm bands or putting it in my pocket, because I thought it was because of the movement. I saw this comment, though, and just ran without the pedometer, and it works like a charm. I'm not sure the fix for this, but it sure defeats the purpose of a pedometer. good luck.

  • Hugely slow speeds when using Superhub?

    Hi everyone,
    I recently moved house and got Virgin Media. While the new Superhub looks cool, it doesn't seem to able to talk to my iMac properly. Here's the wierd thing though.
    I have Windows 7 installed through Bootcamp. When I'm on the Windows side, I get full 30mbps internet no problem. As soon as I switch back to OSX I'm capped to 2mbps at the most. I don't understand why this is happening; it's the same wireless card on the same system, exactly the same distance away from the Superhub! I'm guessing there's an AirPort configuration or setting I need to fiddle with but Virgin Media support were massively unhelpful.
    Has anyone had or fixed this issue? I'm hoping for a simple fix because I can't understand where the issue is!

    enabling WPA security would do it. update your base station firmware to version 7.1

  • Which Mac Pro? More cores=slower speeds? And most of us know the speed matters or FPU for music and I don't understand the faster is for the least amount of procs. And while I get the whole rendering thing and why it makes sense.

    Which Mac Pro? More cores=slower speeds? And most of us know the speed matters or FPU for music and I don't understand the faster is for the least amount of procs. And while I get the whole rendering thing and why it makes sense.
    The above is what the bar says. It's been a while and wondered, maybe Apple changed the format for forums. Then got this nice big blank canvas to air my concerns. Went to school for Computer Science, BSEE, even worked at Analog Devices in Newton Massachusetts, where they make something for apple. 
    The bottom line is fast CPU = more FPU = more headroom and still can't figure out why the more cores= the slower it gets unless it's to get us in to a 6 core then come out with faster cores down the road or a newer Mac that uses the GPU. Also. Few. I'm the guy who said a few years ago Mac has an FCP that looks like iMovie on Steroids. Having said that I called the campus one day to ask them something and while I used to work for Apple, I think she thought I still did as she asked me, "HOW ARE THE 32 CORES/1DYE COMING ALONG? Not wanting to embarrass her I said fine, fine and then hung up.  Makes the most sense as I never quite got the 2,6,12 cores when for years everything from memory to CPU's have been, in sets of 2 to the 2nd power.  2,4,8,16,32,64,120,256,512, 1024, 2048,4196,8192, 72,768.  Wow. W-O-W and will be using whatever I get with Apollo Quad. 
    Peace to all and hope someone can point us in THE RIGHT DIRECTION.  THANK YOU

  • How I use aria2 to download torrent files

    I was reading topics' titles, and then I saw this one:
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=154476
    At first, he wanted to use aria2, but then he switched to rtorrent. rtorrent is great, but It's not good for scripting, so I don't use it. aria2 is the best way to download torrent files, within command line. But how?
    I use this script, because sometimes aria2 stops downloading, but doesn't exit! It's not a big deal when you're near the computer, but when you go somewhere else, you can't check if it's downloading. So I wrote this little script:
    #! /bin/bash
    if [ ! -x /usr/bin/aria2c ]; then
    echo "aria2c is not installed"
    exit 1
    fi
    if [ ! -d ~/.torrentdl ]; then
    mkdir ~/.torrentdl
    fi
    while :; do
    for i in $@; do
    MAGNET=false
    if [[ "$i" = magnet* ]]; then
    MAGNET=true
    elif [ ! -f "$i" ]; then
    echo "The file ('$i') is not given or does not exist"
    exit 1
    fi
    if ! aria2c --hash-check-only=true "$i" &> /dev/null; then
    aria2c "$i"
    sleep 30m && kill -9 `pidof aria2c`
    else
    echo "Torrent is downloaded!"
    fi
    done
    done
    Simply, it starts downloading and restarts it every 30 minutes.
    There are some arguments that will help you with aria2:
    -S, --show-files[=true|false]:
    Print file listing of ".torrent", ".meta4" and ".metalink" file and exit.  In case of ".torrent" file, additional information (infohash, piece length, etc) is also printed.
    --hash-check-only[=true|false]:
    If true is given, after hash check using --check-integrity option, abort download whether or not download is complete.

    Maybe this belongs in the wiki, specifically the "Useful Tips and Tricks" section.  It is not vital to usage of aria2, but I am sure there are others that might find this useful, and the wiki seems like a much more logical place to go searching for something like this.

  • Slow data speed while in calls but not off calls.

    I switched my 3GS for a 4 about 3 months ago on AT&T. I've notice recently that while I'm on a call the data speed is extremely slow compared to off call speed. I didn't notice this back on my 3GS.
    I tested my phone as well as my wifes phone several times in different locations and in a different state recently.
    Speed while not on a call is between 3.0-4.5meg down with .40-1.0 up.
    Speed on a call is always about 0.5 down with 0.2 up.
    Have others noticed this? Can others test and post their results. I don't think its AT&T since friends with android phone don't show this, but who knows.
    I feel this may be a serious issue Apple may need to address if it is affecting others.
    I use the speedtest.net speed test app with my phone sitting on the table.

    Huh, no.
    Has nothing to do with my account. If it was account related the slow speed would be consistant not only during a call and back to normal after I got off. Secondly, my wife and I don't have the same account.
    This is something that isnt happens by chance. I can recreate it over and over at will. Its not some, "oh it feels like slow speed", it is slow speed. As I've stated, those are the readings taken back to back, over and  over. Two different phones, two different accounts.
    I asked for other to test on their phones and post results. @startxxinsanity If you have the iphone 4 and don't have that issue please say so. If not stop committing on something you know nothing about.

  • Slow speeds using airport express 1st generation

    I am currently using an airport express 802.11n 1st generation. I have a direct link from my modem to the airport express which provides a wireless connection to 4 other devices, my macbook pro (2009), iphone 5, android phone, and a windows computer.
    I have been seeing very variable download speeds when using speedtest.net on both my macbook and iphone. I had just assumed it was my internet provider. However, I tried connecting my macbook directly to my modem using an ethernet cable instead of through the airport express. When I did that I had the full 50 Mb/sec download speed that I am paying for. When I then reconnect the airport express and measure the download speeds through wifi and with all 4 devices connected, I see much slower speeds, anywhere from 4 Mb/sec to 30 Mb/sec, but never the full 50 Mb/sec.
    It seems that when my download speeds are really slow and I reset the airport express by just unplugging it and then plugging it back in, the speeds generally seem to improve, but again they usually average around 15 Mb/sec.
    Another thing, it seems like the download speeds improve if only 2 devices are connected and not all 4. Yet, this seems unlikely, I would expect that the airport express could handle more than 4 devices!
    When I connect with airport utility, the airport express has the latest firmware. I can't think of much else that would cause these slow speeds.
    Any help would greatly be appreciated!
    Thanks.

    It is very possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference that appears during these hours that is preventing your 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) from providing a clean RF signal.
    I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like iStumbler, or AirRadar to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible.
