utorrent not working even with all settings correct and green symbol

utorrent is not working even with a port forwarded and the green checkmark symbol, signaling that everything is alright. no upload or download speeds and torrents become inactive even with over 1000 seeds and peers

Here are my settings and stats:

Dell inspiron 6400 core duo
windows firewall (utorrent allowed)
rogers cable

port has been forwarded on linksys befsr41v2
global max connections - 750
connections per torrent - 100
upload max 186kbs
connection type 2mbit
encryption enabled
sp2 patched

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE WRONG?!?!?!
please help

Do OpenOffice torrents work?

If not, blame rogers.

Re: utorrent not working even with all settings correct and green symbol

yes those torrents appear to be working...around 30 kbs avg....although before i reinstalled windows i have been able to reach speeds up to at least 200kbs.....we can eliminate the router as a problem as i have directly connected it to my modem...regular torrents are still not working

current set-up
global max connections - 750
connections per torrent - 100
upload max 186kbs
connection type 2mbit
encryption enabled
sp2 patched
green symbol on
connected directly into modem (Motorola)
no other firewall besides windows

Rogers has been stepping up their efforts to interfere with BitTorrent traffic recently. You might look into that.

OpenOffice torrents should max out your connection's download speed.

Not much besides switching ISPs.

a loo,
By the way, you mentioned "connection type 2mbit" in your details about your setup.
Even if Rogers interfering isn't the cause...hopefully that's not what you used in Speed Guide (CTRL+G)!

What's the fastest upload speeds you've seen reached and sustained by µTorrent?
(I don't trust online tests with Rogers throttling BitTorrent traffic specifically.)

Re: utorrent not working even with all settings correct and green symbol

hey yeah i realized the 2mbit was wrong, i've changed it to 384k....ive reformatted and connected my computer back to the router and now my stats are

global max connections - 230
connections per torrent - 80
upload max 35kbs
connection type 384k
encryption enabled
sp2 patched
green symbol on
upnp enabled
port forwarded
upnp and utorrent allowed on windows firewall
linksys befsr41v2

i am still only averaging 10-20kbs on a torrent with over 2000 seeds and peers

before reformatting and reinstalling windows a couple days ago i could  hit the cap on my upload rates...my download rates could also hit up to 200-300kbs

anymore suggestions?

Re: utorrent not working even with all settings correct and green symbol

Depends on what your upload speeds are doing once you have enough of the torrent to upload to other peers. Are the upload speeds steady, bursty, or nonexistent?

Also, are the download speeds steady at 10-20 KB/sec?

Re: utorrent not working even with all settings correct and green symbol

download and upload speeds are bursty....download speeds are now bursting up to 30-40...upload speeds appear to be bursting up 10-20...but both speeds die down to under 10 then go back up periodically...

speeds never go over 50

For now, just try to find a stable, sustainable upload speed...then choose the closest matching Speed Guide setting for it. It may be necessary to reduce max connections in the hopes that fewer=more stable.
