AFAIK the new connections have upload speed capped at 64K which s**ks big time for people like me who wanna run servers

this is what mtnl mumbai has to say about upload speeds

keen observation! MTNL Rocks!

BSNL says for one of its unlimited plan MCU charges are applicable

http://www.google.com/notebook/public/0435...T86IgoQxbCtsrQh

wtf are MCU charges now

[Puneet 0]

MCU- Metered Call Units. That is basically the BSNL terminology for the chargeable voice calls. Equivalent to call units of a Reliance bill.

Well, not just for servers, but even if you want to run P2P clients, BSNL ADSL s**ks big time. I hardly get about 7kBps upload throughput, max (on my 256 kbps connection)! And with that kind of upload, P2P networks, esp. like eDonkey, etc, severely cap you downloads!

hmmm, mohan... those are some good plans from Exatt ( http://www.xbroadband.in/html/schemes.htm ). The 6 month scheme is surely a winner. But Exatt is available in limited areas in Mumbai, Pune, Banglore and Delhi

BTW, you should be getting around 30 kB/sec for a 256 kbps connection. I get 30 - 32 kB/sec constant speed on my 256 kbps TATA Indicom while downloading. Upload speed is also the same (256 kbps) for me.

How about the experience with BSNL DataOne downloads ? Do you get the advertised speeds ?

Now speed has dropped down to 12-13 for download and 5-6 for upload.

will u please tell me how to go about TATA and is it available in Thane?

racoon emule dosent require upload speeds it requires public ip

yup torrents require good upload speeds though!!! some bl**dy pvt trackers ban u for not uploading

now-a-days since most of the stuff is avaliable via torrents and which is the best way, i think having a good upload speeds is as important as download speeds

[Arun 795]

Check for TATA Indicom's availability here. However, they will provide connection after feasibility study only. TATA Indcicom's ADSL connection is very steady and gives the mentioned speeds all the time. Its a 1:1 connection.

If you are correlating the requirement of getting a public ip with optaining a 'High Id' in Emule, then yes I'v always been getting a high id. Sometimes (rarely) speeds in eMule reach 22 kBps ...but fall again, fast ...most likely because I can only upload at around 7 kBps at the max.

In general with any P2P application, you should share AT LEAST as much as you take. After all, we are getting stuff only because someone else is sharing!

No doubt torrents are probably the fastest way to get stuff ...but no way you can compare torrents with the eDonkey network! You simply wont get even half the stuff that eDonkey has, through torrents. Personally, when Im looking for something I try to find it on torrents, next mebbe on Gnutella; and then on eDonkey...

Moral - Don't consider BSNL DataOne or any other asynchronous ISP service if P2P and/or upload speed is important for you.

Does any one knows to get good torrent speeds in bsnl dataone ?

very very true i am a downloader since 5 years and i agree with u that i have never seen a database like emules for file sharing!! u can get absolutly almost anything on emule, but

1) i have a pvt ip and i dont get hi-id and so never get many users to connect onto (highid / low id mess)

2) emule is que based unlike torrents so keep more files concurrently u can get good speeds then****

****as with torrents its not q based its generally (upload/download) ratio based so u can connect to as many clients possible << in theory and can get exellent speeds

Does any one knows to get good torrent speeds in bsnl dataone ?

a) yeah select some good torrents

B ) keep more torrents to download concurrently

c) dont even try to reduce ur upload speeds from ur torrent client let it stay unlimited

d) use a limiters like NETLIMITER to reduce ur upload speeds from it externally (keep 5 - 8k approx) [limiting it from client dint work for me @least]

e) tell me the results

currently downloading (laughter challenge dvd - bwtorrents 4.35 gb , + 40 days 40 nights torrentspy 650 mb , + red alert the first decade 7.7 gb)

am getting speeds like say 20 - 30 since past 3 days on these torrents***

***if u want better results on individual torrents then start uploading

connection type : (sify unlimted - 256 k down/64k up)

Abhay,

I hope you have checked out the availabilaty of the required ports for eMule. Setting the correct port forwarding in your firewall may get you a High ID.

a) yeah select some good torrents

B ) keep more torrents to download concurrently

"Good torrent" is primarily defined by home many seeds the torrent has (though that need not be the only criterion). Also, from my experience, it would be VERY worthwhile to have at least a few SEEDS (complete sources) - I'v been at least stuck on 3 torrent movie downloads ...stuck at around 98.6% for eternity. And when its for BIG files like movies, its really frustrating. So make sure you select the right .torrent file when there is a choice.

And if the torrent is really fast (sometimes even goes upto 30 kBps, in my case), then keeping more than 1 torrent may actually prolong the effective download time! Concorrent downloads may only be advisable if the torrents are slower than you max download speed.

1) hey racoon if its true can u give me some more info on how to get high id on emule!! i want lots of stuff thats only avaliable on mule

a) i dont have any control over my net connection

B ) dont use firewall

c) am on ****y sify BB

2) true agreed if we get good speeds on single torrent dont put multiple files on download concurrently! but thats generally 4 out of 10 times most of the times the bandwidth gets wasted coz they download @ lesser speeds

so i recommended that option coz u generally get max speeds @ all times, not just some times !! u got my point

raccoon, may be should complain?

[raccoon 53]

Well, if you are using eMule, it needs full access to these ports -

• 4662 TCP

• 4672 UDP

• 4711 TCP

You need to check if these are available. But if you are not using a firewall at all, then I dont see why they should not already be open (unless maybe Sify is blocking these ports or something). One more thing you could try playing with, if you are just not being alloted a High Id, is to change these default ports to something else (taking care that it dosent conflict with other apps). You can do this by fiddling witht the eMule settigs ...and if you use a firewall, then with that too.

I haven't had to do that because I'v been getting a High Id without any additional fiddling. I guess the only bottle-neck in my case is the very poor upload speed of BSNL DataOne!

Besides this, one more thing I'v found quite useful, esp. if you are in a hurry to get a file is to set the file priority to be set to "Release" instead of the default "Auto" (do it from the incomplete files section). A bit of the file needs to have already been downloaded, before you will see it there. Also mark the priority as "High" in the Transfers tab.

And lastly in the Options>Extended, check the "Find best upload limit automatically".

Linuxguy, didnt quite get what you ment...?!

hmmm hard luck !! i dont think the settings u said are applicatble for me

1) as i said i have a pvt ip so im being NAT'ted through sify server

2) i had done a lot of research on it when i took the sify connection, all documents lead to saying that we need a public ip to get a high id

might be this may be wrong but cant help it!! i never get high id on pvt ip

[raccoon 53]

Strange... Anyway, besides the Low Id problem, there is no reason why the other tweaks wont work for you. But without a High Id, your connection will crawl.

Did u try changing the default ports? And one more important thing - if you are on eMule, I hope ur connecting to the Kademilia server also. If you are on the official eDonkey client, I belive it would be Overnet. Kademilia fetches me lot more search hits than the eDoney network! Haven't used Overnet, so can't comment on it.

If nothing helps, it might easier to just dump Sify!

Thats internet through FWP, we are talking about internet through DSL here !

BTW, TATA Indicom reduced their price for 128 kbps and 256 kbps unlimited data transfer ADSL connections to Rs.800 and Rs.1200 respectively (from Rs.900 and Rs.1600), last week. It seems the effect of competition especially from BSNL has started to show among other ISPs now
