chris_leeds Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 When i first installed this software the speed was slow, and kept getting a no green status bar, then i fixed it, and got amazings speeds, the connection was perfect. then the other day i started a torrent for download and the speed has gone again, i have not changed a thing, i tried several different torrents, none of them exceed the 25kb/s speed. i am constantly getting the little yellow triangle in the status bar. I am using a 8MB BT homehub, and everything else is working ok, when i download a file through internet explorer its fine, just with utorrent and azerous i am getting slow speeds. Got download speed average of 360kbps and upload of 2100 kbps.I have forgotten how i fixed it in the 1st place, can somebody please advice me how i can get the speed back again.Thanks Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_leeds Posted January 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 it really doesnt matter if ur bad at it, any help is appreciated. i actually dont know how to access my router, i am using a wireless homehub, but i dont know how to open a port either if u could explain then i think that would solve all the problems with it. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
begintherev Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 haha mmmk well here it goes!go to run, type in "cmd" than in the command prompt type in "ipconfig"take the numbers after ip address..............." HERE " and copy those numbers to your browser and hit enter.this should bring up your router... if it is secured by a username and password it is mostlikely:Username: adminPassword: adminif that doesnt work try "administrator" ?? maybe ??let me know if you get into that and i'll continue!
