Ultima Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Well for one thing, you haven't selected the correct option in the Speed Guide. If, after you have, it doesn't help, try any of the suggestions in the first link in my signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drakhra Posted January 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 - Make sure you have a green network status light in the µTorrent status bar Yes- Try testing a torrent from OpenOffice.org or Ubuntu Linux? (If any of them run quickly, then the problems you're experiencing likely lie only with the swarm)You know speeds- Try enabling Protocol Encryption? (Can be found in Preferences > BitTorrent) Yes- Made sure peer.lazy_bitfield is enabled? (Can be found in Preferences > Advanced)True (Yes)- Check to make sure your ISP isn't listed here NOT LISTED- Disable IP resolving in the Peers tab No Difference- Try disabling DHT (Can be found in Preferences > BitTorrent) No Difference- Try disabling UPnP (Can be found in Preferences > Connection)No Difference- Try lowering maximum global number of connections to 200? 100? 50? (Can be found in Preferences > BitTorrent) No Difference- Lower net.max_halfopen to 4 (Can be found in Preferences > Advanced) No Difference- Patched TCPIP.sys and restarted computer after patching? (Assumes you are using Windows XP w/ SP2)No Difference- Connect your computer directly to the modem to make sure the problem is not caused by the router No Difference- Restart your computer, modem, and router after performing any of the above No Difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 It may require a combination of things to see real speed improvements.How long has it been since your computer was last formatted?Have you installed and uninstalled much software recently? (as this may contribute by leaving behind bad registry entries and crippling DLLs that link to nothing as the rest of the program was removed)Have you run any system cleanups? (SCANDISK, internet options - delete files/cookies/history, emptied recycle bin, run disk cleanup)When you have µTorrent stopped and everything else internet-wise stopped as well, how much "background noise" of ips trying to connect to your computer is your router receiving roughly per minute/per hour?If it's over 50 per minute, then that alone can be a problem.Also check your outgoing connection attempts at your router level to see if your computer is making/breaking internet links even when it is supposedly idle. ...I've caught a few viruses on my network that way which were KILLING my download/upload speeds as well as skyrocketing my pingtimes in realtime games.

Drakhra Posted January 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 In answer to your questions.How long has it been since your computer was last formatted? A few months, installed XP home and Mac OS X (2 HDD's)Have you installed and uninstalled much software recently? (as this may contribute by leaving behind bad registry entries and crippling DLLs that link to nothing as the rest of the program was removed)Not lots, i think a few games, but i have installed Mac on a completly differet HDD that wasnt used beforeHave you run any system cleanups? (SCANDISK, internet options - delete files/cookies/history, emptied recycle bin, run disk cleanup)Nope! But Firefox (the only browser i use) automatically cleans up everything and I run ccleaner regularlyWhen you have µTorrent stopped and everything else internet-wise stopped as well, how much "background noise" of ips trying to connect to your computer is your router receiving roughly per minute/per hour?EH?If it's over 50 per minute, then that alone can be a problem.???Also check your outgoing connection attempts at your router level to see if your computer is making/breaking internet links even when it is supposedly idle. ...I've caught a few viruses on my network that way which were KILLING my download/upload speeds as well as skyrocketing my pingtimes in realtime games.How am i doing this??

Switeck Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 If you have a router, in its configuration settings...somewhere...there should be an option to view a list of all recent incoming and outgoing connections made through/to it.If you don't have a router, get TCP Viewer from sysinternals.com ...exact link:http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/Networking/TcpView.mspx(Microsoft bought them out, so grab it quick!)

Switeck Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 You may not have a separate router, though you may have a mini-router built into your modem.A router would be between your computer and modem and is typically used to connect multiple computers to 1 modem.An ip of 192.168.anything.anything is always a LAN ip. That alone will probably leave you firewalled unless port forwarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
