Burns Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 I've got a similar problem so i might as well post it here. In the last few days my download speeds for torrents have fallen completely. Im not sure why. I had the problem in Azereus where torrents never started to download even though there were plenty of seeds and peers. This same problem persists with uTorrent. I can't quite figure it out because everything else seems to work per usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keloran Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 this sounds like a DHT issue (since 1.1.7.2 doesnt have DHT) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarface Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Hello. I am having this exact problem with my download speeds. My friend, on a dial-up internet service, get speeds of between 5-10kb/s. I however, on a dial up connection, only get around 1-2 kb/s. Are there any settings I can configure to make my downloads a little faster????They sometimes go up to around 5 kb/s, but they suddenly drop back down again to the 0.1-2 area and sometimes even stop completely for long periods of time. Please help me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarface Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 OK I have read all that, now here's my equation.Network OK is down the bottom of my utorrent window.All I have changed is that I use port 6881.I use Windows XP.I don't have broadband, so I don';t even know what portforwarding is...I don't use a firewall at the moment.I don't now my bandwidth at the moment, but I have had d/l speeds at around 5 kb/s before. That speed tester doesn't download.The ISP is not known to slow down my downloads.If anyone can help, that would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfire Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 I'd highly recommend that you change your port off of 6881, as it's commonly throttled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdArmor Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 try a port between 50000 - 55000 those usually aren't known ports for file sharing and aren't throttled.Also anything over 6kBs s pretty much impossible on a dial up conenction, but you definetly should be getting 5 - 6 kBs if you aren't surfing or anything else.

Firon Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 You don't need a firewall really. I've not had one for years It's not likely he'd get throttled on 56k.Scarface, how many seeders/peers are you connected to?Also, you can't really get past 6.5KB/s on 56k, even less because of TCP/IP overhead.
