Torrent problems...

TheSkaNinja · 05-August-07, 10:04 PM

Alrighty, I'm new to PCAPEX, it was recommended by my good friend whom you all know as eascarface. That's beside the point though, as I seem to be having a problem with both uTorrent and BitTorrent, of course it could also be the torrent. I'm not sure though.

The problem is thus:
I'm trying to download Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and it seems to be coming along quite slow, despite having over 250 seeders and nearly 1000 peers. It's been "downloading" for days now and has just recently broken the 5% mark.

Any tips on making it go faster/work?
Because this is taking an unusually long amount of time.

Thanks

Actually, Pirating software is looked down upon by this forum as a whole... I am sure there are ppl on here that could help you but discussions of such things is not permitted here...

I'm you understand...

BTW.... Be glad I was the first to see this.. others might have not been so "nice" about it

Sorry, well if it does make you feel any better, I bought Oblivion for my Xbox360 and was trying to download it on my computer (without having to fork over another $50) because I wanted to try out some of the mods I'd heard about.

Thanks though.

No worries.. You didnt know and now you do.. and knowing is half the battle **cheesy line lol**

Anyway.. yeah I understand its just something we have to steer away from around these parts to keep things on the up&up

Update the tracker, enable DHT, find a new Torrent. There's usually multiple ones for popular stuff.
