    Just got a 9800gx2... Looking forward to playing Crysis maxed the fuck out. Yet I fail at torrents.

    Anyone know a good tracker site other than demoniod? 10kb/s.. doesnt cut it.

    Yup

    thanks guys.

    Say I started the torrent from mininova, then started it again from pirate bay to add the trackers, does that mean I'm going to get higher dl speeds? I'm kind confused about this.

    leave it on overnight for best speeds... i also noticed it tends to build over 15min... so if its 10kb/s at start it doesnt mean it will not reach 250kb/s in a few minutes...

    Also since crysis is kinda popular, theres many more leechers...
    And i think the tracker thing is just like a refresh for dead toreets... i dunno.

    But yeah, i use mininova and avrg 150-200kb/s per torrent, usually multi tasking like 15 diff files leading to my overall download being 1mb/s

    movies in under an hour on some ocasions...

    There is nothing wrong with demonoid, at worst it was the torrent, or there is that slim chance something happened to their servers temporarily but I doubt it.

    google/youtube port forwarding.. also.. one other thing that helps.. is lowering your upload rate.. if my upload goes above 30kb/s im not gonna download for shit.. but i set it to 10kb/s while downloading.. i sit between 300-400kb/s

    my average kbs speed is about 150/250, i've gotten to 300 only one time

    but if i'm downloading an album that isn't very well known it sometimes only gets 25-30 kbs, in which i just turn off my monitor, go to sleep and pull an all nighter. torrents are great
