k9artist Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 Hi,I installed utorrent on my new vista computer yesterday, set up a new port on my modem, got a green light, and it will upload as high as I set the speed limit with no problem, but will only download (with a torrent that has a large number of peers and seeders) at .1 or less. I have DHT disabled, have entered my IP address in the Advanced section as well as reduced the half amount to 4. Obviously the port is fine if I am uploading with no problems with speed, what am I doing wrong here? My max upload speed is supposively 256kb, but on my old computer (which ran XP SP2) I never got higher than 50kb or so and that was rare too. I am using the 1.7 latest version of software also. Please help!!!Amber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5618 Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 Your upload speed is possibly 256 kbit/s which translates to a maximum upload speed of 32 kbyte/sIf you want to test your max download speed try downloading a torrent such as the one at:http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/index.html (choose 2.2.1/Windows/en-US)That torrent will probably get you as high a download speed a possible.

k9artist Posted July 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 Ok with that torrent it downloaded at the highest around 150kb/s, so does this mean that the problem isn't on my end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5618 Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 The torrent in question may just be bad. Assuming your download bandwith provided to you by your ISP is around 1.2Mbit everything is probably ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k9artist Posted July 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 can a torrent's speed be slowed down if a lot of people are downloading it at the same time? (I am sorry for a stupid question, I just don't know). Yes my download speed (which I should have given instead of my upload speed ;-p) is around 1.2 MB. Thank you for your help.Amber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
