Cant download torrents or big megaupload/fileserve ect. files

[Detroitewarren]

I really need some help, I have tried numerous ways, numerous programs, I have tried just about everything, but for some reason on 4g only I can't download anything big no matter what it is, can't get torrents at all on 4g, but they will start to download if I turn lte off and get on 1x (slow as hell of course, would take days), on 4g/lte they will start and stop instantly, why, if it stays going on 1x but stops on lte, wtf is the problem.


With megaupload and other file sharing sites I can download small files (android apk files, music, pictures, ect) but everytime I try to get a big one it either goes real fast and syas download complete without actually downloading anything, it will say download unsuccessful instantly, or it will start downloading and never finish, it will stop during the process and give me the unsuccessful message, what the hell is going on, it seems like there is some kind of restriction to every way possible of getting large files over the 4g/lte network, I need some help please.

600mb to 2gb, and that's not even huge. I have even tried using easythther to download torrents on my laptop and the seeds never pop up, is there a restriction on p2p sharing or something on this phone.

Did you use adownloader, if so, it does not matter, I tried all the torrent programs and they do not work over 4g/lte, at all. If there is a restriction I want to know so I can have some closure to this issue, that was the most important factor to me when getting this phone (don't have to go anywhere to get a movie when with a chick, instant download and transfer to something and you poppin with ease) I thought everything was unlimited, wtf is the deal.

 

[betsuni78]

are you able to download the torrent file? I got adownloader, and I can't even get the torrent file to start the download... didn't care for it until now, since i can't use it haha

Confirming torrent content will download but not torrent files when on 4g - server times out. Also if you got a torrent file from wifi or 1x and switch to 4g check your sd card capacity and port setting in adownloader content should download.​

Yeah, really. Torrents are not for cellular connections.

Quit ruining it for the rest of us. If you are really cheap just get two of your neighbors to pitch in and share a cable internet connection between the three of you. Grab a few DD-WRT routers and set them up as repeater bridges and you're good.

Well put my friend. people like this really mess it up. Man I'm all for rooting and tethering as i use it too but for moderation. Something like what this User is trying to do is not moderation.

As the question to the OP was answered before the bickering ensued.
