TrixxieTriss Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 were would i find a swtor game disc? Discs are completely outdated now and won't work. As someone else mentioned, do a quick google search for "swtor bitraider remove" and you should find some instructions in the forums on how to do it.

Buntar Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 There is a way to disable the bitraider. It is in the same "launcher settings" file. Where it says disable_bitraider: "false" Change "false" to "true" and make sure you have quotation marks. Also up at the top it should say downloadRate "0" which should mean 'autodetect' I changed mine to 100 just in case. Anyway I went from roughly 300 kbps to 8.1 mbps. I can't promise that it'll work as I'm not so tech savvy but it's working for me. so in short enable p2p disable the bitraider and change downloadrate to 100 is what I did.

Please realize this will force you to download the ENTIRE game again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjgamebeast Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Hey guys! Like many of you I was suffering through god awful download speeds. After 2 days of downloading I got a little fed up and decided to actually do something besides passing the time on the throne and in bed. After spending about an hour sifting through the various videos claiming to "speed up swotr downloads", and the occasional cute kitten video, I found one that actually helped! Imagine that, finally youtube does something other than sap my precious attention span. Here's a link : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeFf_ebudZw If you want to skip the minute and a half needed to decipher this english deprived fellows explanation, do this stuff down yonder post. " YO DJ, SPIN THOSE TIPS! " .....im so sorry for that 1. Open the file for SWTOR ( computer, local disk c, program filex86, EA, Bioware, SWTOR ) 2. Open up the launcher settings file with Notepad. 3. At the bottom (for me at least) you will find ""P2PEnabled": "false" 4. Change "false to "true" 5. File, Save, Enjoy (rinse and repeat not required but it wont hurt if it is desired) < I made a rhyme!! I really hopes this helps you all! If it doesnt, well at least you killed about 5 minutes waiting . I dont know if it did anything but after all that, I paused the download for a few seconds and the speed rose as if it had just woken up . hey i was trying to do it but the P2PEnabled file was not on my pc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoloTweed Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 hey i was trying to do it but the P2PEnabled file was not on my pc Maybe if you weren't necro'ing a thread that is 7 years old you wouldn't have a problem. Computers have a tendency to change a LOT in just a few years, so SEVEN... Necro threads always bad. Kill it with fire! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banthabreeder Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Follow the far more recent instructions about removing bitraider.

DarkTergon Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 By any chance do you have a link to the recent instructions? Thanks in advance. Just type in bitraider, and look though the first couple of threads, you should find the instruction there. They really should lock old threads, no point in keeping them open.

scshaw Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Fixed my issue as well. Download went from 4.6mb/s to 4086.65 mb/s; SO much better! For those of you like myself struggling to find WHERE the launcher.settings file is to edit, it is located here: \Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\BioWare\Star Wars-The Old Republic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TibaltRaines Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 I’m guessing this feature is no longer a thing? Just did this and went from 620 kb/s down to 590.. been installing this game for literally the last 10 hours now, not even halfway done yet..

I get the same sort of speeds without Steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That hasn't been my experience. I'm was lucky to get 8-10 MB/s from the launcher, despite my internet being able to go much faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've saturated your bandwidth, then there is nothing you can do short of yelling at your ISP and hope they give you better internet for a reasonable price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
