boo Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Does your ISP use traffic shaping?Or maybe your router is at fault?Have you tried to download big files before without using a bittorrent client? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmax08 Posted October 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 i'm not sure if my isp (Cox) uses traffic shaping, how can i find out?i don't have any problems transferring large files with limewire or even over AIM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmax08 Posted October 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 i googled "cox communications traffic shaping" and it appears they do use traffic shaping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 You must limit µTorrent to slower than your connection at all times or it will overload in some minor or major way. Mostly just make web browsing really laggy, but it can make the network connection cut out if your networking hardware or software is crappy.

Switeck Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Your upload bandwidth is probably limited to 384 kilobits/sec by your ISP, so you're only able to upload about 40 KB/sec anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
