stinger3133 Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 I need help. last month, DSL speed was 128 kbps. this month, i changed to 256 kbps. for the first few days, i was downloading up to 32 - 38 kBps (16 kBps with my 128). for reasons i can't figure out, it suddenly went AWOL. i mean, for at least 10 torrents that i am trying to download, even if such torrent have thousands of seeders and peers, i'm getting 0 kBps download speed.everything was working fine for more than 6 months. i have not changed anything except for the speed (128 to 256). i can still browse the web but can not download any torrent. i tried the same torrent from my office (56 kbps dial-up) and it works just fine.what should i do? where could the problem be?Any help will be appreciated.

DreadWingKnight Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 http://opensource.depthstrike.com/openoffice/ <-- these work fine or no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Too many seeds+peers connecting at once can kill your connection. That's probably not the problem though...so try the Open Office 'test' torrent to see how well it downloads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stinger3133 Posted January 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 i was happy. at first, it worked like a charm. 31 kBps max. after achieving the max, i just stopped the openoffice and started with another. 31 kBps max also. finished the torrent in 8 hours. the next in line however won't start. i tried quitting and restarting utorrent, yet still the same. after few tries, and place the openoffice back to the top of the list, it started downloading. it's like a car with a weak battery. but, this time, i get a maximum of 14 kBps with openoffice and can not make the other torrent works.there has to be some problems i can not figure out.i really need help guys...thanks.

Switeck Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Please post every setting shown on the Speed Guide (CTRL+G) window as well as any advanced settings you changed.My guess is you're getting too many connections at once which slowly cripples your connection.
