RHymas Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Hey guys,I just got uTorrent today and was having a good time. I had nice, fast downloads with a speed of 150kbps+. Well, after I downloaded a few things, I kept it on to keep it seeding, but then had to turn the computer off because I was leaving to go out. I just got back, booted up, found something I wanted to download and BAM, I have a slow speed. A ridiculously speed of 2-4kbps. To make things worse, as of right now its 0kbps. lolI'll admit that I didn't do any configurations in the beginning simply because of the fact I've never had to with any clients. All was working fine so I honestly don't know why its acting up. Would anyone happen to know whats going on or have any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultima Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Port still forwarded? OpenOffice.org torrents run fine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHymas Posted May 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Whoa..running fast. How come that d/ls but my others don't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Because the people you're connected to in the slow swarms are uploading slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHymas Posted May 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Hmm...well its running fast this morning so I guess everything is fine.Another question. I want to make a static IP but lets say I mess something up in the process and no longer can get on the web, how would I fix that?I tried the port forwarding but I have the new fiber optic U-Verse thing by AT&T and that port-forward site doesn't have its router listed (3800HGV-.When I was following the instructions to set an IP the last stop says to copy the numbers on the Internet Protocol properties incase you mess up and need to set it back. Well, on my screen it has no numbers to begin with. So If I had the new info, I won't know how to set it back if I mess up...any suggestions?

Ultima Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 If there are no numbers, then everything was set automatically before, in which case, reverting it would be as simple as changing it from manual to automatic configuration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHymas Posted May 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 Ok..I don't know what to do and its getting frustrating. My speeds fluctuate but always have a steady slow period of 0-5kps.I've turned off all my firewalls/antivirus/spyware applications. I set up a working static IP. Did everything on the speed set up and teaking...And I still can't get any incoming connections which I think is the problem for my slow speeds. I never connect to any seeders, NEVER.whats wrong?

Ultima Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 So... you can't forward your port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHymas Posted May 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 No, my router isn't listed so I don't know how to do it. I've tried to google to see if anyone else has done it but can't find anything. Do you think if I called AT&T they would be able to tell me how?They are using the router 3800HGV-B which is a 2wire router. Not sure if you would know anything tips on that. http://www.2wire.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 Most/all of the 2wire routers have near-identical interfaces, so following any of the other guides for the 2wire routers should net you the same results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHymas Posted May 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Ok...got my port forwarded!

Ultima Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 There isn't really an average, but the theoretical maximum for your connection should be somewhere around 360KiB/s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
