Leo 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Ok then I just got laptop that has Windows Vista pre-installed.To make the story short my connection is the worse.My download speeds when I download files is like 2.5k/b and even loading webpages seems like i'm on a dial up connection.I have a 3.0mb connection and I had the technician come out and apparently it's not the connection.He said it may have something to do with Vista or my laptop.Idk but,im considering downgrading back xp but,I figured i'd try to get some help here first.Acer LaptopAMD Turion 64 Mobile Technology Mk-36 (2.0 Ghz,512KB L2 cache)1 GB DDR2802.11b/g wireless LANMy DSL modem is a Westell 6100 and my wireless router is aBelkin Wireless G Router Can someone help me out please?It's kinda small but,I UNDERLINED THE DOWNLOAD RATE.

Un00b Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 I'm not POSITIVE, but I thought I heard someone say that Vista doesn't work with Utorrent. Don't get me wrong though...its a MAYBE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leo 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 It may be utorrent isn't compatible with Vista...Any other clients I could use in my mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iadien Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 I'm using Vista ultimate 32 bit version, and I'm not having any problems. I did have to go to run > cmd and type "ipconfig" to get the right ip to forward the port correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverdeath Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Yh i got the same problem, but my connection doesn't slow down, it FREEZES. Have to disable my wireless adapter and reenable it to reestablish a working internet connection. Once i open utorrent again, my connection dies again. Im also running Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bit versionLeo 2007 are you using a wireless connection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 I've heard that Vista Home edition is limited to only 5 half open connections at once...so since µTorrent defaults to 8, that will probably cause severe problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoRnDOG Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 YOU think uve got problems, hehe!when i boot my system, everything works fine , download speeds in IE7 and Firefox are great, UNTIL i run uTorrent. My download speeds in uTorrent only get to 60KB/s download and less than 40KB/s upload, which is then the same in IE7 AND Firefox.Ive done a speedtest before and after running uTorrent and here are the resultshttp://www.speedtest.bbmax.co.uk/Download Speed: 8027 kbps (1003.4 KB/sec ) Upload Speed: 660 kbps (82.5 KB/sec )run utorrent for a minute, then exit and wait a minute for buffer to clear then got:Download Speed: 666 kbps (83.3 KB/sec ) Upload Speed: 805 kbps (100.6 KB/sec )Figure that one out Vista Ultimate 64bitBelkin 54g Wireless Network Adapterive done the netsh thing from command prompt, ive also done many a thing that ive found in forums around the net, still got this same problem (for about the last week or so, was working fine for about a month before that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Belkin has gathered a terrible reputation for networking hardware, at least as far as BitTorrent goes. Even 60 connections at once often seems too much for it....and wireless connections have their own problems even with good networking equipment.So did you try Ultima's slow speed/interrupted internet guide?:http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=15992 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
