Sendare Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Hello, I've tried out everything you have in the troubleshooting section, but nothing seems to work. I'm currently downloading a rather large file, and my speed seems to hover at 1-5 kbps, even though it occasionally jumps to as high as 35. When I look at other peers, I see that they're downloading at high speeds, 65+. I've tried the test torrents, but they don't download at higher than 20 (as far as I could tell, anyway). Here is my computer stats.- Status color is green.- The port checker says the port is functional.- My speed guide settings are at 64kbs (even though I have a much higher download connection, my upload is low, seeing as my region doesn't support high upload connections).- Operating system is Windows XP home edition.- I have a firewall/antivirus program called BitDefender, version 9.- Process list: Process PID CPU Description Company NameSystem Idle Process 0 92.31 Interrupts n/a Hardware Interrupts DPCs n/a 6.15 Deferred Procedure Calls System 4 smss.exe 656 Windows NT Session Manager Microsoft Corporation csrss.exe 704 Client Server Runtime Process Microsoft Corporation winlogon.exe 728 Windows NT Logon Application Microsoft Corporation services.exe 772 1.54 Services and Controller app Microsoft Corporation svchost.exe 932 Generic Host Process for Win32 Services Microsoft Corporation hpgs2wnf.exe 328 hpgs2wnf Module hpoevm08.exe 2080 HP OfficeJet COM Event Manager Hewlett-Packard Co. svchost.exe 992 Generic Host Process for Win32 Services Microsoft Corporation svchost.exe 1088 Generic Host Process for Win32 Services Microsoft Corporation svchost.exe 1140 Generic Host Process for Win32 Services Microsoft Corporation svchost.exe 1196 Generic Host Process for Win32 Services Microsoft Corporation spoolsv.exe 1480 Spooler SubSystem App Microsoft Corporation mdm.exe 696 Machine Debug Manager Microsoft Corporation nvsvc32.exe 884 NVIDIA Driver Helper Service, Version 84.21 NVIDIA Corporation svchost.exe 1380 Generic Host Process for Win32 Services Microsoft Corporation xcommsvr.exe 1584 BitDefender Communicator Server Softwin iPodService.exe 2252 iPodService Module Apple Computer, Inc.

bobbyg2 Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Try closing some of those processes. Like firefox. Firfox takes up a lot of memory and bandwidth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sendare Posted December 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 I tried closing down several processes, including ones that I know take up potential bandwidth (like ICQ, MSN, and firefox), didn't seem to do much. Any other advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Set your upload limit to 6KiB/s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sendare Posted December 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Nope.. No significant change after raising the limit to 6 kibs. Could my client be fooling me? I have an all clear in terms of status, but I am only connected to 8 seeds out of 160 and 35 peers out of 1230. I have gotten a success in the port testing and such, but maybe my low peer connection is the key to the problem. Any ideas if it's just the fact that my upload is low or if it's something else? (By the way, if you're wondering, my router has DMZ enabled) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 A router in DMZ mode leaves your computer dangerously exposed to the internet -- requiring the use of a 2-way software firewall on your computer. And even then your computer is still vunlerable to Denial-of-Service attacks that would normally be shielded by the router.Can you try manual port forwarding instead?

Sendare Posted December 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 I tried manual port forwarding, but my router is quite stupid, it keeps.. well, deleting my firewall settings, I don't get why, but I think that one of the firmwares I've installed may have caused the issue, and seeing as they have no support centers nearby, nor is my warranty valid, I'm stuck with a DMZ.Update, I've disabled my DMZ, but uTorrent's firewall is still there. I tried the firewall test, and it alternates between a "good" and "bad" result, with no real reason. The torrent's status is still green, but I still have the same strange error (the original one, that is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sendare Posted December 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 I"m still waiting on any answers if you have them. Please help, I'm still downloading the god damn file from last week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Still sounds like a choked connection to me...SLOW/INTERRUPTED INTERNET CONNECTION/OFFLINE TRACKERS when running µTorrent- Disable IP resolving in the Peers tab- Try disabling DHT (Can be found in Preferences > BitTorrent)- Try disabling UPnP (Can be found in Preferences > Connection)- Try lowering maximum global number of connections to 200? 100? 50? (Can be found in Preferences > BitTorrent)- Lower net.max_halfopen to 4 (Can be found in Preferences > Advanced)- Patched TCPIP.sys and restarted computer after patching? (Assumes you are using Windows XP w/ SP2)- Connect your computer directly to the modem to make sure the problem is not caused by the router- Restart your computer, modem, and router after performing any of the above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sendare Posted December 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Well, I tried changing settings several times, as far as I can tell, no change occurred. I guess I'll just have to wait for a while for this file to download. Thanks anyway for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
