Recommended Posts

i have windows vista home basic and road runner cable modem connection. I can't figure out how to increase my download speeds for utorrent. i am not very computer literate so i need help but when i try reading most help pages I can't figure out what i need to do. most help pages assume i know a lot about computers so i keep getting stuck and need a more dummed down help.

Make sure you're testing while EVERYTHING ELSE besides your browser is closed. That means no downloading softwares, no chatting, no online games -- nothing besides your browser. Yes, µTorrent should be closed too. And tell us the tested upload rate (not just download).

yes for both

info: what i have tried:

1. i have went through the entire setup guide.

2. i don't know how to do the firewall setup but i have windows firewall on right now.

3. upload speed of 422kb/s / 8 = 52.75kB/s x .8 = 42.2 i put that in the global maximum upload speed rate box

4. my isp is road runner cable modem. not sure if that is on the list. couldn't find it.

info:

1. network status green

2. port checker writes OK port 33625 is open and accepting connections

3. speed guide settings: upload limit 42 kb/s; upload slots 4; connections per tor. 80; connections global 230; max active torrents 3; max active downloads 3; encryption enabled

4. windows vista home basic

5. security software: windows firewall; not sure how to check for any others

6. i don't have a router. my modem is a terayon tj 715x

7. road runner cable modem

8. speed test: 5715 and 427
