Best Torrent Client Software For Streamyx Users

Submitted by Alvin Nyau on 20, 2008 View Comments

Yes! we have no choice but to love Streamyx!
If you are a subscriber of ~~ streamyx, you should know how we, the users of TM Net Streamyx feel when we are downloading through torrent. Torrent is totally legal for everyone to use, as long as the materials you upload or download are not illegally copied. But, I believe nobody will care about this. So, lets leave this aside.

Speed? Throttling?
Speed, speed and speed! Everyone wants speed! But for us, the Streamyx users are not getting the speed we want. It’s ok if we take consideration of our economy. We are unfortunately unable to afford the higher technology. We understand it. But, please don’t throttle us… (Based what I know, throttle means something like blocking you from p2p connection.)

How slow you are when you are torrent-ing?
I personally get 1 to 10kbps using Bitcomet, Azureus, utorrent and BitTorrent. How about you? I’m not sure whether you get better speed or not because the possibility for them to throttle you is extremely depending on your location. They throttle the users mostly from crowded place as their bandwidth of that area is not able to support all users.

Best Torrent Client?
There is nothing that is the best. But for us who get throttled by our ISP, ??(xunlei) or Thunder is the best solution to download faster!

How does ??(xunlei) or Thunder works?
(Based on what I understand about this software) Xunlei connects to peers using fake http header, unlike other torrent client which connect to peers directly. Since it works this way, the connection is no longer a p2p connection. It is the same as you download something from a source. For Xunlei, a peer is equal to a source, thus it can connect to many sources for one task. This concept can bypass the thrrotling of your ISP.

Weaknesses of Xunlei
The speed is extremely unstable. It’s all depend on the task itself. If there are more sources, it would be more stable. How unstable it is? For example, when you have 100kbps for a task, it can sometimes have a sudden drop to 2kbps or lower. Why is this happen? I’m still not sure about this. But, I guess that a task might sometimes experience some file transfer pausing during the process. Thus, the speed might be affected.

@All lovely commentators

It is happy to see someone benefits from xunlei!
Anyway, some might not feel good with xunlei as sometimes it may not be as stable as other torrent client such as bitcomet.
Use it or delete it? TRY FIRST before making any decision! [haha]

@sky
That’s probably due to your slow internet connection provided by TMNET. [cry]
