sams18 Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 I've been using utorrent for well over 3 years and for the past week and change, I started noticing a dramatic drop in the download speed. My download speed has usually always averaged at 600Kb/ps to 1Mb/ps and now it barely goes over 30Kb/ps. I don't think the issue lies in the seeds/peers, because I have tried to download files with a fair amount of seeds and peers and the speed still doesn't increase. Also, I should mention that in the beginning while this started happening, the downloads usually started at a good speed (at least, for me) of 1Mb/ps but then soon fell down. Now the downloads usually begins at a low speed and keeps at that. There's also an off chance of the download speed randomly increasing for a few minutes before quickly going down again. I've gone through several guides and also went through the speed issue guides on here but after changing and messing with my settings for a while, nothing changed. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled utorrent quite a few times, and also tried to download other torrent clients to check if the problem still persists, and it does. Also, if it matters, you can probably see the yellow triangle/icon on the bottom right and I wonder if it relates? I'm sorry if I come across as kind of uneducated about all of this, because I am. If anyone could help me figure this out, it'd be a huge help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the problem is either your internet connection or the torrents you're testing with. Do torrents from http://www.slackware.com/getslack/torrents.php work?

At this point either you plead your case with them or stop using utorrent all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you need is a Proxy or VPN-some VPN don't permit torrent usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
