Un00b Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 Whenever I start downloading a torrent the ball will be yellow for a very long time..switch to green for 10 seconds then switch back to yellow..then after 5 mins it will go back to green and stay like that. I check if my port is forwarded in the speed guide every once in awhile. For some reason it will say ITS NOT even though i get a green ball. My Downloading speeds seem to be a lot slower on games because of this..anyone know what the problem could be?Thanks In advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 Probably your settings in µTorrent don't match your connection's speed.What's your connection rated for?Please post all the values for the settings shown in Speed Guide (CTRL+G).

Un00b Posted November 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 Whats open office? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 ... It's a free office suite alternative to Microsoft Office, but that's not the point. The point behind me linking it is to ask how the torrent itself downloads... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 The xx/128k settings should be good...but it really depends on whether your connection can sustain those values.Sort of like the difference between if a car can go 100 MPH and whether it can do it for 4 hours straight. And that I just can't answer without testing a connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Un00b Posted November 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Ok...i've noticed when i download larger files i get an extremely slow download( maybe 20kB/s) then after a while it SLOWLY raises...like around 100kB/s at like 75%. Also noticed that the ball stays yellow for a long time too. Openoffice downloaded nicely, and switeck its the other way around..Its VERY SLOW then gets pretty fast. Except its slow for a long time...the quickness at the end is pretty much useless because the torrent is nearly done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
