Switeck Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 "in advance settings i changed Net.max_halfopen *80."BEYOND excessive for your connection!Set that back to the default of 8 or even as low as 4 for testing.Have you disabled DHT, UPnP, and Resolve IPs in µTorrent?

Switeck Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 Have you tried the OpenOffice test torrents to see if it reaches faster speeds than your current torrents?(link for OpenOffice test torrents are mentioned in the troubleshooting guide) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugmenot Posted September 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 nope no change sits on 23k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 With 256 kilobits/sec supposed max download, you probably won't exceed 30 KiloBYTES/sec download speeds on anything except for maybe uncompressed data (text web pages for instance).23 KiloBYTES/sec for torrents when you have 40+ connections at once isn't all that bad considering.

Switeck Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Maybe...but it's so low-end, it really doesn't qualify as broadband. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugmenot Posted September 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 oh well better than nothing, is there any way to keep it at a constant speed cause utorrnet always dives back 2 like 5k and than rises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Maybe not...but you can try turning off most of µTorrent's extra features that use bandwidth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
