seezur Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 uTorrent is having extremely slow download speeds, and I am not sure how to fix the problem. I was getting download speeds of 50-70 KB/s tops, and with DMZ enabled I get up to 220 KB/s but fluctuates around 120-170 KB/s. Here is the information.Router and Modem Model:Router: D-Link DI-524Modem: Ambit? (Road Runner modem. Only thing I found was Ambit.)Operating System:Windows XP Home SP 2ISP:Time Warner Cable - Road RunnerSecurity Software:None. Everything has been disabled.Port Checker:"Error! Port 50586 does not appear to be open."Connection Type:CableDSL Reports:Download Speed: 3624 Kb/sUpload Speed: 346 Kb/s<a href="http://speedtest.dslreports.com"><img border=0 src="http://www.dslreports.com/im/33858246/5162.png"></a>Network Status:Green check mark.Speed Guide Settings:Upload Limit: 34 KB/sConnections: 100Max Active Torrents: 9Upload Slots: 8Connections (global): 600Max Active Downloads: 8Current Port: 50586Encryption EnabledEverything I have tried:I have tried the portforward.com guide for my router for uTorrent, set up a static IP and forwarded the port. The port checker reported that the port is still closed.I tried enabling DMZ, which has resulted in the best speeds to far. The port is still closed however and I get less than mediocre speeds (15 KB/s) on downloads with 600+ seeds.I have disabled uPnP on uTorrent, my router, and my PC.I have removed my AV and disabled all built in Window's security programs.I have read a myriad of posts that all refer back to the portforward.com guide (which evidently does not work in my situation). I have made sure peer.lazy_bitfield is enabled.I don't think my ISP was on the throttle list (unless they are owned by a bigger company).I have enabled protocol encryption.Computer Specs:I have 2 gigs of RAM.Processor is an Intel T2500 Dual Core 2.00 GHz.Any and all help would be appreciated. I have tried almost everything and still get low numbers on heavily seeded torrents. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurahashi Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 First, http://www.bisnotb.com/Saying this, your speeds - having your port closed - are not so bad.And second, all the following settings:Connections: 100Max Active Torrents: 9Upload Slots: 8Connections (global): 600Max Active Downloads: 8are set too high for your upload. You should try xx/384 from speed guide as a base, and tweak them a little only if neccesary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seezur Posted July 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 That's great that the speeds are good for a closed port, but I would like to maximize them. I guess one of the main themes of my post is whether or not the port can be opened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 It almost qualifies as hostile to the torrent swarms you're on to try to split your upload speed in 72 different parts at max...unless your upload is maybe 1+ MegaBYTE/sec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seezur Posted July 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 Fail, for not helping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Sure, very bad settings will result in slow speeds.By "slow speeds" you probably meant download speeds, however what your upload speed is doing is critically important when trying to diagnose the problem.
