I am having extreme trouble trying to download files using the free bittorrent client Transmission. I am trying to download the Civilization IV Demo via the bittorrent link at MacGameFiles.com and it has never managed to exceed 6kbs. I am on broadband in New Zealand and downloaded via http usually yields speeds of 100kbs+.
I was under the conception that Bittorrent was meant to be faster than http or ftp downloading, but I have yet to see results.
Could this be to do with what time I download at?
I have been trying all evening NZ time, which is about midday onwards LA time. Should I try later on (eg early morning here in NZ, evening in LA)
My machine is in my sig, (I know, Civ IV won't run on it, I am downloading it for a different comp).
Help would be appreciated!
