download = upload

[Scarecrowman]

Odd problem, but when I am downloading via uTorrent (or any torrent app for that matter..) My download speeds are restricted to the same speed as my upload.

I have Cable, so when I download, I get speeds around 786Kb/s but in uTorrent, I can only achieve around 40Kb/s, as my ISP caps upload at 40.

Sometimes it jumps up around 100, but it's usually steady at 40.

Is this my ISP limiting me?

P.S. I HAVE set up port forwarding on my router, and it is working just fine.

Set Outgoing: Protocol Encryption to "forced" in your Preferences. Maybe it helps.

Pick a torrent from here -- how does it run?

With outgoing Protocol Encryption disabled, every other torrent stopped: speed on OpenOffice torrent ~750-800.

With outgoing Protocol Encryption disabled, every other torrent running: speed on OpenOffice torrent starts around 100, reaching 400 max.

With outgoing Protocol Encryption enabled, every other torrent stopped: speed on OpenOffice torrent ~750-800.

With outgoing Protocol Encryption enabled, every other torrent running: speed on OpenOffice torrent ~100, reaching 400 max.

Apparently the force does not work, but the OpenOffice torrent tells me there is no speed problems. Perhaps a tracker problem, or my ISP is limiting traffic.

@ Ultima - I just tried both posts in your signature. Tried every recomendation (already running lvllord patch and loving it), but nothing seems to have helped.

Thanks to both for responding so fast.

It's neither a tracker nor ISP issue, it's an issue with the torrent swarms you're connecting to.

@ Ultima

Since using the two links in your signature, and fixing some of the settings, I am now getting 100kb down and 50kb up. It's not great, but it is an improvement.

I understand about the swarms, guess thats all I can do for now. Thanks agian.
