missfaithvamp Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Hey ya'llI'm using a NetGear DG834 on SkyBroadband, but for some reason my downloads are ever so slow! I tried to forward the ports. Everything was going fine until it asked for the Username and Password. Now I assumed this would be my User Information sky had supplied me with. The password doesn't work. Although I am on the internet so something must be working somewhere.Any ideas, should I be creating my own password? Should I contact Sky? Any help most appriciated.MWAH!Faith x5X5x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Have you tried doing any GOOGLE searches to see if anyone else on Sky Broadband has problems with BitTorrent clients? Maybe it's a recent or local problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phenom Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 make sure you have all the speed settings configured correctly: if your upload speed is set too high, it causes your download speed to suffer. look through this: http://www.utorrent.com/setup_guide.php - my downloads were really slow as well, 'til i realised i'd entered the wrong value into the upload speed box. now everything's peachy.
