gorico Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 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!

Switeck Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 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).

gorico Posted July 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 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???

Ultima Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 What firewall are you using...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Getting stuck at 90% probably has nothing to do with capped modems. That sounds more like poisoned and fake torrents. Check that torrent's availability and what percentage other peers have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
