Hunklethorpe Posted August 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 The network's fine, its got the green logo thing, and the speed is capped all the time - its never exceeded 6kbps. According to the port checker everything is fine and my settings are:Upload limit: 1kb/sConnections: 50Max Active Torrents: 50Upload Slots: 5Connections (global):200Max Active Downloads: 5I use windows XP SP2 and have AVG free editionit should also be noted that other programs such as steam or limewire do not experience this problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunklethorpe Posted August 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 hey, there's no need for that, the only reason my upload limits been set to 1kb/s was to see if it speeds up the download time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunklethorpe Posted August 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 ah that explains why its capped at 6, but it doesn't explain why its still slow or was before i capped the upload speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Did you run Speed Guide (CTRL+G) and choose a setting that matched your UPLOAD speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nos_slived Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 What speed do you get with µTorrent downloading the first Slackware torrent (see signature). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunklethorpe Posted August 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 downloading the first slackware torrent come up at around 60kb/swould i be right in thinking the problems with the torrent rather than the software? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nos_slived Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Still only 68.5% of your tested download speed, but that could be due to a changing download speed or other network traffic. In short, it is still slower than it theoretically should be, but if don't get close to 60kB/s on other torrents, it's a problem with a slower swarm, not the client.

Switeck Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Ah, you're on BT (British Telecom)!There's been NUMEROUS threads here lately about how that ISP majorly cripples BitTorrent traffic between about 6 PM and midnight (6 hours a day).
