To anyone having speed issues

[archmeister94]

Until the other day, when I download a torrent I would get 1.0 - 2.5 MBs.  But then half-way through downloading it dropped until it completely stopped downloading.  My normal downloading/Web browsing is fine, I just can't torrent.

 

I did the following:  (These are not guaranteed to work, they are just steps I did)

• Restarted that torrent
• Restarted uTorrent
• Restarted my PC
• Rebooted my internet through "192.168.0.1"
• Turned my router Off and On
• Changed torrent
• Changed torrent program
• READ - http://forum.utorrent.com/topic/13691-if-you-have-speed-issues-read-here-first/
• Set max download speed to "9999999999"
• Made sure "UPnP Port mapping" was Enabled
• Changed Port
• Set torrent bandwidth allocation to "High"
• Set uTorrent priority to "High" in task manager
• Ran uTorrent "Setup Guide" 
• Googled Help
• Youtubed Help
• Disallowed uTorrent through firewall then re-allowed it

It's now downloading but only at 300KBs but fluxes between 100KBs - 1000KBs

 

But if none off the above work for you, try: (These are not guaranteed to work, they are just suggestions.)

• Reinstalling network addapter
• Disabling AdBlocker - (I read it can interfere, don't know if it's true or not but maybe worth a try.)
• Uninstall Anti-Virus
• Set up uTorrent through a proxy
• Set up a VPN
• As a last resort contact your Internet provider. (Torrenting itself is legal but many people use it for non-legal purposes,  your internet provider can monitor your internet traffic so if you are download a lot of pirated films/games/music etc they may slow or even stop your torrent download speed.)

NOTE:

If your speeds slowed or stopped and you was able to fix it, please don't keep it to yourself.
