flomans Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 hi, i sometimes do get a download speed but it is only small e.g. 2k/s!! upload speed is generally running at about 20kb/s. I am new to using torrent software and i need as much help as possible! Im quite sure that my download speed should be a lot higher considering i have 1Mbs internet speed (not the best i no!). Help please!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SargeZT Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 TalkTalk limits BitTorrent traffic. I'd switch to a port meant for VoIP as your main port for incoming connections, along with changing your Encryption type to 'Forced'Hopefully that will help you, but it's almost certainly your ISP. I'm glad you got that out of the way in your list, that narrowed it down instantly. I've never actually dealt with TalkTalk or anyone who used it before, but hopefully forcing encryption will help.If it doesn't, well, unfortunately there isn't much that can be done besides switching ISPs. Sorry I couldn't be of more help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
