Torrenting too slow?

Post by jogger »

I am not going to open old discussions - just one fact.

I am running quite a couple of i2p routers, all well tuned I think.

I have two identical machines, 8 (virtual) cores, cloned config, firewalled, low cpu usage, enough RAM, seeding 100s of gigs worth of identical or similar torrents, uptime 18 days right now.

Output measured as lifetime average outbound - inbound traffic:
ARM 32 (Stretch) : > 200 kBps
Mac (Mojave) : < 70 kBps

Mac gets more connections, of course better ElGamal times, however "router watchdog barking" again and again. Reminds me of last year when Windows 2012 Server also produced disappointing results like Mac now.

If you want fast torrents get a decent Linux box.

I have the same problem with Windows 7. Thanks for the advice. I wonder if running Linux in a virtual machine would do the same???

Sure a virtual machine will do. A powerful ARM linux box with case, power supply and SSD can be had for around $100 nowadays though.
