Download torrents with xfinity

I recently changed my internet provider from Frontier Fios to Comcast xfinity. Through Comcast, I get somewhat low torrent speeds. After that, open the Downloader, paste your torrent link or magnet link inside the box and press submit. Now Myfastfile will download the file you have selected for you, and you can download it straight from their servers. Why is torrent speed slow through comcast? Ask Question 3. Torrent speed 1. Torrent slow download speed. I find it unlikely that Comcast would throttle BitTorrent traffic so significantly since they got in hot water for doing that in the past.

They still do shaping like any large ISP, but probably not enough to knock your speeds down in half versus Frontier. With BitTorrent there are so many factors that affect speed, it's challenging to figure out where problems arise. An easy way to test if your BT speeds are truly capped at kBps is to try different torrents and configurations. But if I torrent a popular Fedora release, speeds easily go up to 7MBps.

Doing tests like this at different times of the day can also help determine if this performance is congestion related. Testing over Ethernet versus wireless may show a difference, but probably not. FYI your ISP can look at patterns in your traffic and deduce that you're using BitTorrent regardless of your using transport encryption. If the router worked with high BT throughput on Frontier, I don't believe it should have to be replaced to work with a similar connection system.

Comcast may have specific settings for routers connected to its network, and that's a good question to ask about to support. If you tell them your specific problem, they're likely to be more helpful.

That is interesting. They do not talk about modem. The current modem is given by comcast. I do not any thing about modem. I do not see any choice about bridging the modem. Start new topic.

I can not use any torrent. I do not know how to figure out public or private tracker. DreadWingKnight Posted January 31, TheDuder Posted February 3, Posted February 3, Just to add my Comcast experience - and this is also a similar experience for many of my small biz and residential clients.
