I've had a look at some torrent-specific forums, including the Transmission (which is what I use, primarily) forums in my quest to solve this problem but everyone seems to be equally perplexed so I thought I'd ask you nice folks here.
The download speeds I used to get with Transmission were fantastic, however since upgrading to Leopard last month I have just been unable to get anywhere near them, and often the files won't transfer at all, even when there are high numbers of seeders and few leechers. I also get error messages underneath some torrents in the transfer display, such as, 'timed out' or, 'torrent hasn't responded yet'.
Does anyone else have this problem with torrents at the moment, and does anyone else suspect it might be because of Leopard?
I also have quite a bit of bother with browsing the web while downloading torrents (although this was somewhat of a problem even with Tiger). If anyone has any remedies for that, I'd also appreciate any info.
[EDIT] Also, I use a Netgear router at the minute, it's a few years old (but again the speed was fine before Leopard, and remains fine for everything bar torrent downloads). Does using an Airport router really make a noticeable difference to wireless speeds, in anyone's experience?
