> slow: ~10KB/s
Battlfield Basis: http://battlefield-basis.de/downloads.php?id=390
> very fast (~400KB/s) but it stops download at 100MB??
BF News: http://www.bf-news.de/downloads.php?go=saugen&lid=3610

Client Levels:

Works here.

I've been downloading torrent for 5 hours now. This is the slowest torrent ever!

I swear I downloaded FH2 torrent before I knew what happened just a few weeks ago.

Its because not alot of people are seeding it yet, what you can do is download it through a direct link and then im not sure where (So someone correct me

) But you can set it to seed that file. If that made any sense

I fixed my torrent download problem. I was maxing the upload and had a rate of 100kB/S DL 80 Kb/S UL. When I limited the UL to 150 kB/S my DL increased to 250kB/S+. I would advise doing this if you are seeing slow torrent speeds.

Btw, I'm going to put my system in seed mode while I'm offline. Have fun dl'ing

I just downloaded them both pretty quickly from TV2. 600KB/S each downloading both simultaneously.

Im west coast, then norway one got me only like 200kb/s so i went back to torrents. Core reached 400kbs at one point, and is almost done. Took me a couple of hours.
