watchinthewheels Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 I have been using utorrent for ages but recently its been causing loads of problems, first the dht connection wouldnt work, then it wouldnt connect to seeds now its just going really really slowly, im uploading at twice the speed im downloading even though there are a LOT of seeds.I have already tried the obvious stuff, disabled my firewall, removed my router and got a direct connection, tested the connection speed and tested the ports are open. Everything seems to be fine, apart from the download speeds. Am I expecting too much? is it working right? I cant imagine that faster up than down is the norm.also I have sunbelt firewall on, and have never had a problem with it interfering with UT but since upgrading to 1.6 its killing my download speeds even more, i have set it to allow UT connections of all types both in and out, is there another seeting that needs changing in 1.6 that didnt in 1.5?Thanks in advance for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultima Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 There is no such thing as "quick enough". And more seeds does not mean more speed. Pick a test torrent up from here, and see how it runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 You seem to have set you upload speed max too high and it's choking your download speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchinthewheels Posted October 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 I tried the open office test torrent and was getting 5-6kb/s connected to 15 seeds.I have tried setting my max upload speed to 1 kb/s and that hasnt helped the downloads.any more ideas? Im not sure what could be limiting it now.[edit] I did a speed test and my connection is average for a 2meg line I have set it to the defaults for that. So its not a settings issue in that way, could UT itself be limiting my speed somehow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 2mbit is not what you're supposed to be selecting. You're supposed to be selecting your UPLOAD speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchinthewheels Posted October 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 ahh ok, i changed it to the readings from the speedtest. its a little faster now but still less than 20kb/s at the maximum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
