fivos Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Hi,First of all I have to tell that I have set μtorrent settings as it is suggested in the setup guide (I have tested my line speed and set it at the speed guide, port is forwarded properly and I have enabled encryption). Also μtorrent was working fine before some days. However yesterday and today I have the following problem: my download speed doesn't goes to more than 3.1kB/sec at the test torrent OOo_2.3.0_Win32Intel_install_en-US.exe. Also the netwrok indicator turned green after a very long time (10mins approximately). Something else is the tracker status:μtorrent reports either ''connection was closed by peer'' or ''connection was not possible because the remote computer actively refused it''. Generaly I don't have any tracker online (and that's why I have such slow speeds). Also I can barely connect to even one seed. I tried disabling UPnP port mapping and NAT mapping, also I disabled DHT but it was no use (actually those peers I'm downloading from are obtained through DHT network only!). I also tried to start my PC in safe mode with network, to see if a process interferes with μtorrent but the same happens in safe mode. My router is linksys WAG300N and, as I said, it is configured to allow μtorrent to accept connections through port range forwarding. I have NOD32 antivirus and ad-aware 2007. I don't have any additional firewall. Any help and ideas about the causes of the problem are appreciated.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Did you disable IMON in NOD32?If that's not causing the problem, the most likely explanation is your ISP is simply hostile towards BitTorrent traffic.Have you tried various encryption settings in µTorrent?(Please read other threads on the subject for details, I'm no expert in that regard.)

fivos Posted November 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Well, it might sound odd what I'm going to say, but I tried to use again μtorrent to download the test torrent and now it works!! It finds the trackers and reports that they are online. So I guess that this was just my ISP problem, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 It may be the trackers of the other torrents you were trying to get....though that certainly wouldn't explain the low speeds from/to the peers/seed you do connect to!For that, probably only your ISP is to blame at this point.

thewonderer Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 i had a similar problem. I discovered that I had assumed XP had the number of half open connections set to 100 where the default is 10. I was not correct and i'd modified utorrent in the advanced setting to have 50 half open connections.Once i made the change all connections were fine.Recommend checking your eventvwr /SYSTEM log for any TCP/IP errors.Good luck!

Switeck Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Off-topic: it's never a good idea to set µTorrent's half open connection max anywhere near Window's half open limit. Bad things happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
