boba fett Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 I connect currently at about 3 - 3.5 Meg. I have started to use a new site to download torrents from and when i first start the torrent it will kick off at around 320kbps download. This will stay for about 20 minutes and then this will start to get slower.It will drop to about 220kbps and then 120kbps and then continue to drop and then it will not donwload anything. I can stop the torrent and then restart and it will go to abut 2- 3 kbps and then go to 0kbps. It wont upload when it does this either.Is this a config issue or do you think my connection is being strangle???Any Ideas anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Yes, it is probably a configuration problem with µTorrent...though you may be able to fix it with a bios flash for your router and/or network card. (...depending on the models and if there's a "good" firmware upgrade for them.)What's your half open connection limit both for Windows and for µTorrent?What settings are you currently using in µTorrent, as shown by Speed Guide (CTRL+G)?Also, what's the maximum speed of your connection on the upload side?

Switeck Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 If you haven't run 3rd party software, Win XP SP2's max half open limit is only 10. (per application?/for all of windows?...that I haven't a clue.)µTorrent's is set under advanced settings, it defaults to 8 and some people find their problems decrease or go away if lowered to 4-6.

boba fett Posted January 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 I have run the software that increases the max half open limit and ive also decreased this within Utorrent as well.I have read somewhere about PeerGuardian but im not sure whether to use it. It may help if my connection is being throttled by my isp? any ideas??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
