Boxee opens torrents slowly on my AppleTV?

Asked by drClaw (4452points) February 16th, 2009

I recently loaded my AppleTV with boxee and found that it was going to take 4–6 days for it to unpack a torrent. The torrent wasn’t even HD! Does anyone know why it is going so slow? If so is there any way to speed it up?

Is it unpacking to locally attached storage or a network share? If it’s a network share, could there be something bottle-necking on the other end? If it’s locally, are you sure the drive is good? Also, not entirely sure what you mean by unpacking a torrent, but I’ll assume that you either mean uncompressing a torrented file, or simply downloading something via a torrent, in either case my questions are still valid. If you mean simply downloading, make sure the torrent is even being seeded, too.

Good luck!
