Speed Problem

Recommended Posts

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?

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?

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.
