Utorrent capping speed

[SouthX]

Hello this is my problem.

Whenever i download a BT file using Utorrent, my speed will alway cap at 250kB/s - 255kB/s and no higher.

Then if i download a file on Firefox i alway get speed of 280-320kB/s.

I have read through the speed issues and router sticky.

im on a Linksys::Network Everywhere::Model NR041

also im on a Dsl pro package which is 3Mb/512kB package.

Er, 250 isn't bad at all. You always(well, usually) get faster from a dedicated download from a good server.

well i really want to get the speed i paid for.

since everytime it goes to 250 or 255 it just drop back down to 245 then 255 then 245(repeat) over and over.

How does this torrent run?

thats good ..my download only at 1~10KB ..my gosh

The reason why µTorrent runs so much slower is probably due to the overheads with all the connections you have at once versis just downloading from a website using ONE connection.

So...what's all your settings as shown by Speed Guide (CTRL+G)?

...and also list any changed advanced settings.

At least on very well seeded torrents, I would not be surprised if with a couple small changes you'd gain at least 20 KB/sec.

I tried the open office dl and topped out at about 30KB/s - DSL reports shows that I should be 120Kb/s down and 20 KB/s up (about)... am I being capped? My isp is clearwire (by necessity, not choice)

For one thing, since you're using a wireless ISP, you likely can't forward your port, which will cause speeds to suffer. Other than that, though, we can't say anything more since you provide us with no additional information. What exactly does the Speed Guide show your current settings to be?

[blacknightx]

I was under the impression that port forwarding was used to forward incomming requests from other clients to your computer (well, to the IP assigned to it by your router) through your router... what does that have to do with your isp?

blacknightx,

You need to reduce your upload slots to no more than 8...and preferably down to 4 (the default).

Splitting 17 KB/sec total upload speed too thin means you likely won't get much download speed in return from whoever you're uploading to...also the more ways you split it, the higher the overheads for doing so.

How do you suppose your wireless provider routes the data wirelessly to each household/computer? Because they use a router to route to you. Since you can't control their router, you can't forward your ports.

SouthX,

Your upload speed is a little low to split it between 8 torrents.

42 KB/sec split between 8 torrents is 5.25 KB/sec each.

But per upload slot on each torrent, it's only 1.31 KB/sec.

You may get better results trying fewer torrents at once.

I have never download 8 torrent at a time, my max was alway 1 or 2.
