Ghost521 Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Hi. My downloads are extrememly slow. I checked a few forums to see if it would help me out. None did.Modem: Sprint 645 SeriesRouter: WGR614 v. 7ISP: Embarq (was Sprint)Program Model: Utorrent 1.7 3353 build--Anymore info needed let me know.Problem-Utorrent is saying the downloads are limited. Also, when I do a port check, it says "the port does not appear to be open." I've tried everything from resetting my router to portforward.com and nothing has changed the status of this problem. I don't think I have ever seen it go green. It's been red once or twice when I was messing with my router. Its back to yellow status. Thanks for any possible help.

Ultima Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 You're double-NATed. The "Sprint 645" is actually a ZyXel Prestige 645, which also acts as a router. Check the manual's advanced port forwarding guide for more on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost521 Posted July 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 My modem did not come with a manual. It came with a guide but it does not mention port forwarding. Do you know where I can access this information? If not i'll try to find someway to figure out the information. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Download Limited error is covered in the FAQ.It means you're not uploading fast enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
testertje Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 you are correct but i did check the site www.portforward.com to forward my port on my routerand i did the speed test with this result now i am going to check what i can do with the message as seen here above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 According to that picture you could use xx/256k in Speed Guide (CTRL+G)....since 260 kilobits/sec upload speed is equal or greater than 256 kilobits/sec.If you share your connection with others, then you might want a lower speed guide setting.But if you set it below xx/96k, it can severely impact performance due to the Download Limited limitations.
