I have two computers with Windows 10 connected with a gigabit cable. Both are setup with static IP addresses, file sharing is on, firewalls are off. Both can ping and discover each other. Ethernet adapter details show a speed of 1gbit on both.
I can transfer large files via a shared folder with a speed of about 100 mb/s (as in mega-bytes) with no issues.
I have a 120 GB single file RAR archive from which I have created a .torrent file. I'm using BitCometTracker as a private tracker in conjunction with BitComet (on both computers) as a client. Both can seed, both can leech, no problems.
The problem is, that, no matter what I do, the speed of the torrent on either side never goes above 3.5 mb/s.
Given that file sharing works so beautifully I'm thinking it's not a network issue. So, my best guess would be either some weird firewall-style restriction on the ports, or a problem with BitComet? I do want to note that I have a moderately fast internet, so I can download torrents with speeds at least twice as fast from other people.
I can't understand, how come, using the same technology, I can download with 7-8 mb/s over the internet, through a wireless router, but not over a gigabit cable.
Any ideas?
