strange problem.. direct conection to modem and still red point...

Hi, I used to have very good speeds... I changed my modem to one from tcniso that uses Sigma (Motorola SB5100), I have a Us Robotics router (8022) with port forward and everything worked like it should.

I started to have problems with the conection, and I got the red point.. I didnt change anything, just from one day to another it changed from green to red and with crappy speeds, I tried to fix it (port forwarding and all that.. I followed the mini guide) but without results.. so I thought maybe the router had a hardware problem or something.. so I just conected my computer directly to the modem (via a Hub and the router without using the WAN port... thats because the modem and the computer are in a different floor of the house..) and it worked perfect, I got a green point and speed where great, both downloading and uploading, for around 3 weeks...

But I got the red point again a few days ago, this time the conection is sometimes good sometimes not... I can download at max speed (aroung 180 Kb/s for me..) until a torrent reaches 80-90%, then it drops and I´m stock on most torrents at 99% or so... also in well seeded torrents.. I´m conected directly to the modem and the speed test said that the ports are blocked and I get the red point.. upload speeds never get higher than 20Kb/s and before they were usually around 80 Kb/s... I already "fix" the 10 ports limit in windows Xp.. I dont know what could be wrong as I´m conected directly to the modem... any advice?? suggestions?.. help please!

Try reducing half-open slot max in µTorrent to 8 or even as low as 4.

Disable DHT and UPnP if you haven't already.

Also for at least the short term, use the Speed Guide (CTRL+G) in µTorrent to set upload speed max to only 16-20 KB/sec (whatever you think it can sustain itself currently at).

OK I fond it.. je.. thank you... I use a translated version of uTorrent, thats why I couln´t find it at first... I did all this but this speed is still very bad..:( and I still get a red point.. I will try to plug the other modem to see what happen (the other modem is MUCH slower, thats why I dont use it... its capped je..), do you guys thing that this has anything to do with the fact that I get stock at 90% in all torrents???
