Problem with download speed on torrents

[grobar87]

Hi,
I just installed Debian 10 Lxde on my old laptop Dell Vostro A860. Everything works fine except deluge. Maximum download speed is 2.0 Mib/s. I try with qBittorrent too, but same problem. I don't have this problem on Ubuntu and windows for example. I need help for fixing this.
Sorry for bad english.
Thanks.

It could be a number of reasons, including different default settings.

Torrents are not very good for estimating download speed, by it's design it varies.

You could install

Code: Select all

speedtest-cli

But even it shows variable speed if you run it many times in sequence.

What download speed would you expect and why?

I use deluge on vanilla debian installation with lxde... in transmission on ubuntu download speed is 5-6 Mib/s and same download speed in qBittorrent on windows.
That's why i expect better download speed on debian.

Check your settings, then. I can assure you that Debian is not hard coded to slow down your torrents.

Here's a good guide for Optimizing Deluge For Speed.

the torrent client is not using all your Upload is it? You can limit it to 5mb/sec and see if that helps?
