caboosiumsargide Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 hey. i've been using utorrent for about 9 months now, but just registered at the forums. and for the first 8 months of using utorrent, everything worked perfectly. then about a month ago, the smae file that was downloading perfectly (bout 70kbs) suddenly slowed to about 5. along with all of my other downloads. i thought that it was low seeder activity, so i shrugged it off. but then i tried to refresh a page that had take bout 1/4 of a second to load after i had started up utorrent, and it took about 2 minutes to refresh the thing. uTorrent was downloading at 5 kbs at the time. My max download rate, outside of a spike, is about 165 kbs (i live in a rural area with basic dsl, i think). So as far as i can tell, utorrent is downloading at 5 kbs, but using 164.99999 kbs of bandwidth. I tried to reinstall after completely removing utorrent, giving my torrents a chance to finish, and then i reinstalled it. It worked fine for about 2 days, and then it started using up all my bandwidth again.Can someone help me with this problem?EDIT: I am on a Netgear wireless router, but these problems were occurring before i set up the wireless.

2good2b Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 if you're absolutely sure that your upload rate is not choking your download - what does the speedtest say about upload Kbit/sec and what is your utorrent set to as max upload in KByte? ... then post a HickjackThis report. might be your PC has caught a bad disease.also check that you have disabled the local peer discovery - it's enabled per default and maybe the update to 1.7.5 has enabled it?

2good2b Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 1. test your upload speed. Then use the speed guide in utorrent CTR+G to adjust your max upload .2. disable "local peer discovery" in utorrent-->preferences-->Bittorrent3. if you are sure that your utorrent settings are fine and still expereince slowness, post a HijackThis logfile. (google "HijackThis"). It's a tool which can show whether your PC has caught a virus or something similar that steels your bandwidth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
