Speed problems

[nat]

Hmm, wierd! Mine's rockin along at about 8kB/s which by my last week or two's speed is great! Mite have a go on port 80 if, sorry, when (!) my speeds drops back down to less thah 1kB/s!

By the way, my upload is currently at it's max.

Haven't contacted TT yet, I'm lazy like that!!

Note that even if you use port 80 the speed will still be slow if you are not connected to peers who are using port 80. I am using port 80 and gets full torrent speed when connected with peers who use port 80 but very slow (1 kB/s) with peers who use other ports. Common sense tells me that ISP do not block port 80 because it is also used for HTTP traffic. Anyway it doesnt affect my web browsing speed.

I think it is pointless to contact talktalk because it is in their policy to restrict p2p traffic.

my settings is:

port used for incoming connections: 80

global maximum upload rate : 15 kB/s ( 2mbps/256k adsl)

enable UPnP port mapping (take the easy option than forward ports)

global max number of connection: 130

max numbers of connected peers per torrent: 70

number of upload slots per torrent: 3

DHT disabled

enable peer exchange

protocol encryption: forced (disable allow incoming legacy connection)

max number of active torrents: 2

max number of active downloads: 2

net.max_halfopen: 4

hope that helps

How do you know what port peers are using?

have you tried using luvlords tcip patch if you have a look in your error logs and see the 4226 number that will be your problem. sometimes after updating, windows resets tcip settings to 10 peers only
