cato0211 Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 I'm a computer novice, so this has been a real pain. I've done the following but my download speed is VERY slow (varies from 174 down to 38 kbs).\:Forwarded my port ( now I get a green circle w/ check mark to right of DHT)Ran upload speed test and set upload limit to 50kb/s (less than 80%)Download speed set to unlimitedDisabled DHTSet maximum global connections to 50UPnP already disabledNet.maz_half open at 4Disabled IP in Peers tabProtocol Encryption enabledpeer.lazy_bitfield is enabledWindows firewall set to allow bitTorrentDisabled anti-virus and spyware softwareThere are 17 seeds & 47 peers Download size is 4.36 GB of which only 63% has downloaded during the past 7 hours. (overnight)I use DSL @ 1.5M connect speed, OS is XP Home Edition, DELL Celeron D processor, 512 RAM. IP is Iowatelecom (not on list)I've downloaded before with MUCH better results. The past couple days have been terrible (10-40kb/s). Can anyone provide some help or insight as to what I can do to get back to at least a 2 or 3 hour download. Please remember I am not very well technically versed. I'm just plain lost because all worked so well only a couple days ago and now it all sucks. Frustration has definitely set in.My e-mail is: cato0212@iowatelecom.net. I check it several times daily, so a short notification of response would be GREATLY appreciated - or respond directly thru e-mail. PS. Just finished download of another file were speed was consistently better than 125kb/s. Only difference was number of seeds and peers was slightly more than doubled.

Switeck Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 With only a 1.5 megabit/sec down line (and 512 kilobit/sec up?), it's pretty good to get a torrent downloaded at 125 KB/sec.The issue may have been the torrent had more fast seeds/peers on it that the other.Your other settings concerning the upload side could also have a big impact on your download speeds. If you've set your upload slots too high or too low, so each person downloading from you is getting less than 1 KB/sec or more than 10 KB/sec, then they will tend to give back less than they are getting. In the first instance (1 KB/sec from you) because such a slow speed to them is probably slower than others who are giving them more. In the second (10+ KB/sec) because they can't give back to you that fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

µtorrent-Guest Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 1) this is a public forum, not a private 1:1 helpservice via email. so posting email addresses will only serve the purpose of getting spam from mailaddressharvesters.2) lilz01 then undo the "tweaks" ;-) Easiest way is CTRL+G and choose your UPloadspeed in the dropdownmenue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
