Jesusfreak_1617 Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 I'm at a university and using utorrent. My download speeds usually range from 10-25kb/s but the speed tests show much higher speeds. I've read everywhere about forwarding ports from your router, but I don't think I am using a router as they are prohibited by the University. I'm connected through a cable box in my room, so here is my question:If I'm not using a router and therefore can't forward ports, then how do achieve higher download speeds using utorrent? My firewall (Windows) has utorrent on the allow list and even when i turn the firewall off or close it - it has no effect.If somehow the university uses routers somewhere in the building or whatever - how do I go about getting higher speeds???I know you guys get tired of hearing similar questions over and over again - but I couldn't find any topics where people weren't using routers. Is there any way at all I can up my speeds to higher speeds like 150-350 kb/s. Any help is appreciated..... God Bless!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Universities typically throttle/block P2P. You can try turning on protocol encryption, but it may not help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 You may also want to avoid drawing attention to yourself by trying to get 200+ KiloBYTE/sec download speeds using BitTorrent. ...You could lose internet access altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
