Intorrably slow speeds.

I'm currently running a D-Link DI-624 Router w/ a D-Link DWL-G520 Wireless network card.

Don't tell my D-Links suck, casue I don't have the money right now to go out and buy another router.

We Just had a DI-624 Rev. C, but it died, and it handled my torrents fine.

Our new one, Rev. E, seems to be horrible.

We bought a Linksys before this 624 Rev. E, and it had such horrible packet handling that all other computers on the network couldn't access the internet when I had utorrent open.

Right now, I am running in DMZ, on my static IP, and my firewall is disabled. On a torrent with 44, and rising, connections, to my computer, I am downloading at 6.4 kB/s (now its 3.2 kB/s) and uploading at about 4 kB/s.

My uTorrent settings are:

Port: 316 (uTorrent says its open)

UPnP disabled

DHT disabled

Max upload: 53

Max Download: 298

Max Connections: 200

Max peers/torrent: 520

Max Upload Slots/torrent: 13

max halfopen: 8

Little thing in status bar is check in green circle. heh.. don't know a better way to describe that

Currently the same torrent mentioned above is at 3.1 kB/s down 1.2 kB/s up, with 40 peers and 7 seeds, with some Peer DL's at 80 kB/s

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get my torrents to download fast again?

What color is the light in the status bar?

[Crazydog]

should of mentioned that..it's green..that's not a problem

http://ubuntu-releases.cs.umn.edu/6.06/ubuntu-6.06.1-desktop-i386.iso.torrent

How does that torrent run?

[Crazydog]

just downloaded...connected to 3 seeders who don't want to upload to me..ill edit with more info..

1 seeder is upping to me, 0.4 kB/s

So no. I guess it isn't running well.

Now connected to 46 people, DLing at about 25 kB/s

Erm, run the Speed Guide again, and don't mess with the settings. Enable Protocol Encryption while you're at it.

[Crazydog]

Protocl Encryption has been enabled.

Ran speed guide...(but for some reason my internet is being unusually slow even with uTorrent closed)

the ubuntu torrent was up to 50 kB/s, then dropped to 11

the other 2 im trying to download (that each have many many seeds and peers ) are still going very slow.

[Ultima]

Might just be your connection if it's still acting up while µTorrent's closed... Which option did you select in the Speed Guide anyway?

[Crazydog]

I actually am having better luck using the uTorrent settings optimizer

[Ultima]

The numbers suggested by it are too extreme.
