Ultima Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Select xx/128k in the Speed Guide -- your settings are totally wrong for your connection type. What modem are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbinson Posted February 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 ill try those settings later and let you know, i'm not using a modem the net is connected through the router which is a modem/router, the d-link dsl-g624t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Are your uploads running below your set upload speed max?Even regularly dropping below by more than 2 KB/sec is bad...it may mean high packet loss caused either by your networking somewhere, your ISP's (poor) gateway, or even an internet backbone just being overworked.

throbinson Posted February 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 No, my upload speeds are always on the max maybe 0.5kbps below,I've contact me isp (tiscali) to see if they have a download cap when downloading from torrents, as yet no reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
