Switeck Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 Lower your half open connection rate in µTorrent back down to the default of 8. Continuously trying to connect to 50 NEW connections all the time is very hard on networking equipment...to say nothing of the bandwidth usage!Did you ever try the full xx/640k settings or do you need a lot of leftover upload bandwidth for other things?I'm not sure about your ISP throttling BitTorrent, but it's quite possible...certainly after you've been downloading at 200 KiloBYTES/sec for a few minutes! Can your connection sustain an upload speed of 50+ KiloBYTES/sec? (Upload side is often throttled more than download, as ISPs have to pay more for that.)

fruitsensation Posted September 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 i lower it to 8, then i tried to lower the upload to 20, because i need leftovers for other things. Also i don't think my isp (TELUS) is throttling bittorrent, i live in calgary. and yes my connection can sustain an upload speed of 50+ KiloBYTES/sec. This happens on every torrent i download, it starts out at high speed then gradully slows down? Help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 You'll probably need to go through the whole troubleshooting guide at:http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=15992My guess, your D-Link router isn't any good for UDP and multicast packets. Your modem too may have connection limitations...such as long timeouts and small internal memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honeyfrog Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 There should be a new rule on this site regarding speed-related issues: When posting, you must include the name of your ISP.This will quickly determine if the speed issue is due to traffic-shaping.(I can think of at least two situations involving Comcast in which my download speeds would behave exactly as Fruitsensation describes above.)

fruitsensation Posted September 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 i changed my router and modem to siemens se567 and i went through the trouble shooting guide, still the same thing happens, example when downloading a file it goes up to 430kB/s and then to 130kB/s?

Switeck Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 So long as that's faster than you're uploading, it could just be the behavior of the torrent swarm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruitsensation Posted September 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 it is weird because every download i tried goes up really high and then slows down so much. i am not sure what is going on here? is it my isp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
