Re: n900 Transmission very slow download
 

ndi. sorry for earlier, iam just so depressed about this.

i set my PC on wierless just to test, and set up same IP as i use on N900 but not at the same time, nokia wasnt connected to wifi at that time, and set up the same port but not at the same time with nokia, i try http://www.canyouseeme.org/ and the port was open, so i disable the wifi on my PC, and use diffrent IP, and connect nokia on the wifi, use the same IP as a use before with PC but not at the same time, use the same port, but not at the same time, use http://www.canyouseeme.org/, and the port was open, i use the transmission settings and check if port was open, and it was, the PC got 20Mb/s with the same torrent, nokia got 0 - 4 kb/s, most of the time it was 0, and it was connected to 15 peers, then i set up the nokia as DMZ, got external IP, the port was shown as open, the same

the web, emails, sending large attachment, very fast, no problems, downloading with web normal results

the only reasonable explanation is nokia n900 just doesnt like me :/

Re: n900 Transmission very slow download
 

Have you tried my previous suggestion on increasing number of peers? If some peers don't cooperate, this could be a problem. Make the limit 50 both ways (per torrent and global) and try a torrent that has quite a few seeds/peers, make sure it goes smoothly. Perhaps choose a local torrent, some peers are from the other side of the world and have high latencies.

Also, try to stop and restart the torrent if it insists on being slow, this re-connects all peers, hopefully other peers.

Also, no worries, we' cool.

My transmission doesn`t work.Whenever I click on a torrent link I don`t get the 'open with transmission option.Just the save to device....help anybody?

Re: n900 Transmission very slow download
 

I've got over 1MB/s (ie > 8Mbit/s) with transmission on my N900! It was one of my 'wow' moments with this phone.

I've noticed that when the initial piece of data comes through for a large torrent, the N900 gets -very- unresponsive for quite some time. I think this is due to allocating space up-front for the whole file on the FAT partition (which doesn't support sparse files like a native FS would do). I just leave the phone alone for a couple of minutes until it sorts itself out.

Re: n900 Transmission very slow download
 

a) No hijacking. You have a much better chance of getting help if you post in a thread called "Transmission: no open with" than "slow speeds", especially an old one.

b) Did the app install OK? What version of Transmission, what version of firmware? Did you reboot? Please include these in your new thread.

c) Until this is sorted, save the .torrent to the device, fire up Transmission and use the menu to "Add torrent..."

d) You did reboot and start Transmission at least once, right?

Re: n900 Transmission very slow download
 

thank u for the recommendation.now its working fine.some tweaking on the settings and a restart did the trick

Re: n900 Transmission very slow download
 

by the way.....my transmission speed is slow as well.....50kb sec

Re: n900 Transmission very slow download
 

Where can I download the application Transmission?

Re: n900 Transmission very slow download
 

You can download it via App. Manager. I believe it is in Extra-Testing.

I have the same issue as OP. I used transmission for the first time yesterday and it all night to download a 20MB file over 12MB connection. I checked the port and it is open for outside traffic. Still my download speed never got over 5 KB even though there were 50 peers connected.

Any suggestion ?

Re: n900 Transmission very slow download
 

I'm not quite having the same problem. I downloaded a torrent, and I seem to be limited to 15-20kb/sec. However, this doesn't seem to be a bandwidth limitation - CPU usage is sky high, and the entire phone becomes fairly unresponsive. Setting a 15 kb/sec bandwidth limit makes the phone usable, but barely. Has anyone else seen this behavior?
