DrKickflip13 Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 http://img118.imageshack.us/img118/3532/veryslowtorrentstd6.jpgFirst I went to speakeasy.net/speedtest and found my upload speed to be 357 kbps. I ran the Speed guide and selected xxx/384 kbps. I used a port and set up forwarding, which I tested and it said "Open." I ran the TCP patcher to 50 and set the halfopen connections to 50. I was still getting 0(1000+) for seeds and it was downloading at 0 - 10 kbps, so I tried 100 max open connections. I got the same result. I have DHT disabled. I don't know what to do...I used mininova and the torrent is very recent. BTW, for the one stuck at 0 its availability was around .800 and the one downloading around 10 had an availability of .600. Also, I don't have any type of firewall. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKickflip13 Posted October 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 PS - I also can't get any seeds or peers on any private trackers that I register at, such as BitSoup, Blackcats-games, SuperTorrents ect. It just gets 0 download 0 upload and sits there forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrKickflip13 Posted October 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 it wont connect to it...0 upload 0 download speed. Right now I'm downloading a torrent from mininova at 0.1 kbps - 0.6 kbps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Have you tried enabling Protocol Encryption? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Such low availabilities is a sign that the torrents are probably fake/poisoned severely."I ran the TCP patcher to 50 and set the halfopen connections to 50."µTorrent's half-open max should be set LESS than your Win XP SP2 is set to, preferably no more than 80%.

Ultima Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Regardless, the fact that the OpenOffice.org torrent doesn't run at all is indication of something more than just a simple configuration error or torrent-specific issue =T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKickflip13 Posted October 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 I enabled protocol encryption and it didn't fix it =(I also set the max half open to 40 and still .01 kbps for the mininova and 0 kbps for OpenOffice.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Sounds like extremely hard ISP interference to me... If you want, you can test another BitTorrent client to make sure it's not µTorrent (something I highly doubt, but hey, worth a shot, you've nothing to lose at this point).

DrKickflip13 Posted October 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 I tried BitComet. It downloads torrents from torrentspy with green heath at around 10 kbps, and goes as low as 0.1 kbps just like uTorrent. I tried using some private trackers and none of them worked, I just got 0 the whole time, not even 0.1. My ISP is Verizon. My friend has the same Verizon DSL plan as me and he downloads at like 80+ kbps...I really don't even know what to test to try to fix it. please help =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Have your friend host a torrent and see if you can download it from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKickflip13 Posted October 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 I use BitDefender but not the firewall part, only the anti virus and anti spyware part. I just tried exiting it and it still seeds 0 (1700) and 0 (1015) and downloads at 0.1 kbps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Exiting is not enough to get rid of system-wide hooks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKickflip13 Posted October 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 I'm not running the firewall part though, can the anti virus part effect download speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Still possible, BitDefender's software has been known to cause issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKickflip13 Posted October 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 I completely disabled BitDefender and I got the windows message saying warning no antivirus (or firewall.) Im still get seeds 0(1739) and seeds 0(1011)any ideas...I really don't know what to do. I tried other torrents from all different trackers and nothing is working =/ I dont even know what to check anymore. Btw I have a Westell Versalink 327W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 I did say that exiting is not enough to rid the computer of system-wide hooks just earlier, didn't I...? In any case, if it doesn't help, there doesn't appear to be much left to be done -- unless I'm missing something (very possible, but I've no clue), the fingers point at ISP interference.

DrKickflip13 Posted October 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Last time I just exited, this time I disabled everything and exited (I got the windows warning this time about no anti virus) But I used to download at 100kbps with the same ISP about a month ago. Unless they did something since then.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 REGARDLESS, I said system-wide hooks are NOT removed until you uninstall. And yeah, ISPs can and do change policies out of nowhere, so it's easily possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKickflip13 Posted October 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Should I try another port and forward it again? I don't know why I'm getting 0 seeds when they tracker says there should be 1000+ seeders...the port says its OPEN with the test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Do you have another computer on the network to test it on? Can you drag your computer to your friend's house to see if it works there? I ask because I'm wondering if it's a computer issue, or a network issue.

Switeck Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 You could even try running µTorrent on 2 computers on your network and seeing if one could upload torrents to another. That'd rule your modem out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
