MGA BOSSING ASK KO LANG PO..bkt un mga movies na dinadownload ko especially sa utorrent pag play ko na sa media player ko wla lumalabas na video,puro audio lang...

 

you may not have the necessary codec in wmp to play the file. try using VLC.

to all people having issues in encoding and/or decoding (playing) audio and video; download and install klite codec pack. here's the link..Klite codec pack.

 

enjoy.

At least as long as you arent done downloading.

 

Remember, the more you upload (seed), the faster you can download even after you had finished your download. Do keep seeding for atleast 10%-30% depending the size of the file. Otherwise, trackers will note you as inefficient.

Ethically, you must at least upload the same size as what you have downloaded. 1:1 ratio. Share what you get.

I presently have more than 50 movies or tv series being seeded (so long as my home PC is on) ...... some have already gone passed the 1:1 ratio, Should I take that off the torrent or should I just leave it there seeding?

 

So far, I don't notice any significant drop in downloading speed, its more dependent on the number of seeds present at a particular time. There are times that with a good number of seeds I'm able to get DL speeds of up to 225 kbps.

 

Hmmmmm so there really are trackers keeping watch eh.

Actually, the "rule" about you getting more download speed if you upload/seed more is up for debate. I download tens of gigabytes of stuff a month but I seed for no more than 1 week per torrent with a ratio far lower than 1:1. I also throttle down the upload bandwidth really low on my machine so I won't have a lot of disk I/O performance hit on my end. But the sneeky rule about speed is that "know thy seeder". You get significant downloads speed if you know which seeders have fast network connections such as T1, T2, etc.

if you are using at least version 2, try running the speed test again in the setup guide. it will automatically adjust your settings to your current internet speed.

only the private trackers keep track of your seed ratio. Public trackers do not.
