businessbhoy Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Hi - been using this excellent forum for 6 months and it has answered any problems i have encountered until now - Until last week, i was getting speeds of up to 400kbps for many months - I initially went through the usual port forwards etc to attain this, and turned off my windows firewall. This past week though I am struggling for 20kbps on any torrents (all popular and well seeded) - I have been banging my head on a brick wall searching for answers, so took the plunge here with my first post - heres the info - hope its all you need;Running: Windows XPISP: talkTalk (UK) 8meg D/L 2 meg U/L connection Router: Belkin wireless F5D7632uk4ANetwork status light is green (If thats what I think it is)Port - port forwarding open and accepting (have tried several - all with the same result)Antivirus - Avast Home edition - security set to normalwhat I can say is that i never changed any settings between having great speeds and now very slow ones - its bizarre - I have read a great deal, and have since changed ports using port forward.com advice on a couple of occasions. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

random897 Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 I have experienced the exact same problem.Throttling is not the problem in my case, as I have always used forced encryption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
businessbhoy Posted April 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Yeah Free internet i am using have always used it and have always had great DL speeds only this past week it has inexplicably went very bad - I have resigned myself to leaving them in protest - torrents are the mainstay of my net use.
