Port forwarding on college network?

[foobiewa]

Hello,

I started using uTorrent just yesterday, and had great download speeds last night (~100 kb/s). Today, however, my download speed has slowed to about 2.5 kb/s.

The network status light for me is a yellow triangle with an exclamation point, and says that there are no incoming connections. Also, for a while I kept getting the Can't map to uPnP port in my error log.

The speed guide says my connection type is 768k, and I have enabled encryption. I also went tried to manually open the port used by utorrent by going to Windows firewall, and adding a port, and also going to my internet connection and adding the port manually to the allowed list.

I have Windows Xp, with sp2, and I have windows defender and mcafee antivirus, as well as ad-aware installed.

I am on a college network, so I have no idea what my router model or ISP is. This also prevented me from doing port forwarding because I can't access the router.

Any suggestions as to what to do? Thanks so much!

They're probably throttling. In general, if you have no control over your network hardware, there isn't much you can do once you start getting throttled besides getting your own connection.
