fab54 Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Hi all!I have the impression that utorrent 1.6.1 is much slower than utorrent 1.6, am I the only one?With the 1.6 I could download steadily at 300-400 kB/s, now with the 1.6.1 I can barely reach the 250 kB/s bar.The other day I switched back to the 1.6 and my speed went up!!I'm definetly sticking to the 1.6 version!!

Lord Alderaan Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 It might be just coincidence. But thats strange indeed. If you don't use uPnP try turning it off. Maybe thats it, cos they tweaked it a bit in 1.6.1 and its the only thing I can think off that could cause anything even slightly as what you are reporting.Maybe some of the more knowledgeable people have a posible explanation ...

Switeck Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Your settings could be too extreme for your connection, but v1.6 wasn't as aggressive at using them so it still mostly works. But v1.6.1 nearly kills the connection and now your download speeds suffer.Did you ever run Speed Guide (CTRL+G) and choose the setting that closest matches your UPLOAD bandwidth?

fab54 Posted March 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Thanks for your answers!yes, I ran the speed guide and I had the impression that it didn't make a big difference...Next week-end when I have sometime I'll try it again.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 If you have a software firewall, that's why 1.6.1 is slower. You need to remove and re-add the firewall rules for µTorrent (because firewalls are stupid, buggy things on Windows). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Alderaan Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 If readding the rules doesn't work and if you use a router try disabling any software firewall you have to see if performance increases (if you don't use a router it might not be good idea to turn off your software firewall depending on how updated your windows version). At least you will know if it really is the firewall or maybe something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
