Slow download speeds (0.1KB) normally.

Help me please. I have tried the tweaking and the optimizing of uTorrent but my download speed is always 0.5 or something and the best speed I can get is 4KB, but it only lasts for a few seconds. I have heard that others have speeds of like 240KB without tweaking and stuff but me, not. Here are the information that Ultima's FAQ asked for:

Port checker quote:

"Welcome to the µTorrent Port Checker.

A test will be performed on your computer to check if the specified port is opened.

Checking port 14382 on 124.217.119.19...

Error! Port 14382 does not appear to be open.

Please see www.portforward.com for more information about how to map a port.

Please make absolutely sure that PeerGuardian2 or Protowall is allowing utorrent.com (72.20.34.145) in either of those programs. Those of you using ipfilter.dat should make sure the list does not include the website's IP. After making sure of this, re-run this test by refreshing the page (F5)."

My ISP is not throttling the torrenting(tested using the Glasnost Full Test[seven mins])

I have just purged and immunized my system with MajorGeeks.com's help by using MBAM, SSAD, HijackThis, etc. so I don't think that the problem is of the malware kind. Thanks for the help!

Does the OpenOffice test torrents (mentioned 1st link of my signature) download ok?

"ISP: DigitelOne-Plan(3Mbits)

Download speed(KB): 46"

...Not getting what you're paying for by the sounds of it!

3 megabits/second should be capable of 300+ KiloBYTES/second download.

"Net.max_halfopen is 65*"

Try more like 5.

Disable DHT, LPD, UPnP, NAT-PMP, and Resolve IPs.

If none of that helps, try 'extreme' hiding tricks:

(Note: My post immediately following that one explains what settings in uTorrent are similar to the Azureus ones.)

Ok, thanks for now, I will give your advice a try.

Oh, and about the speed, it was 2Mbps and I was running some update programs so I will test again and stuff.

30 minutes later...

Okay, I tried to download the OpenOffice thing. When I tried to download it without changing any of my settings, it had the yellow triangle and the speed was like download: 45KB, Upload:0.1KB. But when I ran a speed test, I had to stop the torrent and after that, I changed the net.max_halfopen to 5. I then proceeded to download the torrent thing. Now, after I changed the net.max_halfopen to 5, there is now a red circle and the speed is Download:50KB, Upload: 0.5KB. Why is there a red circle?

Other problem- Upload speed is 0. Down speed SOMETIMES starts fine(20KB-50KB) but after that... back to 0.1KB. Because of 0 Upload speed(I think). Why????
