jernobyl Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Hi. I'm using uTorrent, and it's really starting to grate on me. Not just uTorrent, the whole goddamn thing. The situation is as follows: Belkin F5D7360-4uk router. My laptop has a Belkin G+ wireless card (brand new, not faulty) Speed tests show our download speed as 1500+kbps. There is NO firewall on this connection. I have an internal static IP. The port uTorrent is using is open and forwarded in the router's setup. I have followed this thread http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/335210 exactly. I AM on Tiscali and I AM aware that they have a fair usage policy but as far as I can see that only applies 6pm-11pm, and it's not between those times. Sometimes uTorrent crashes my internet connection completely and I have to reset it. For the torrent I'm downloading (the new episode of Lost) there are 11350 seeds and 4458 peers, yet at any one time I think I only ever seen it connect to 10 seeds and 5 peers. Very recently I have seen me connected to 40 peers... AND YET I AM STILL GETTING DOWNLOAD SPEEDS LESS THAN 10KBPS. In fact, I'm lucky to get any more than 1kbps. And quite often when I open uTorrent it just crashes my net connection entirely and I have to reset it.I'm going mental here. Can someone tell me where I'm going wrong?

Switeck Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 µTorrent's Speed Guide (CTRL+G) gives µTorrent ok settings based on your connection's UPLOAD bandwidth. So if you have 256 kilobits/sec upload bandwidth you'd use the xx/256k setting in Speed Guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jernobyl Posted March 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Okay, thanks, I did that, and it came up 238kbps, so I've changed it to that and I'm still getting nothing upload/download. Plus the little yellow ! triangle icon is still at the bottom.Actually, now that I've done that, the little yellow triangle has gone to a green tick, and it just crashed my net connection twice. I was only connecting to like 5 of 8500 seeds, too. WTF is happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Hello, nobody else replied and you didn't try the search feature here?Belkin routers are just plain bad for file-sharing.Wireless connections are bad too for file-sharing.Isn't it illegal to do file-sharing on Tiscali?someone said it was here:http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=21290 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
