Slow dowload and upload speed

[shin_kyo21]

I have been getting really slow download speeds for the past week and I haven't changed any of my settings and the like. Before i was getting decent speeds and now all of the sudden the rate goes down. I heard of ISP throttling or shaping traffic. Is that the problem or do I have to change other settings? Because no matter how I configure the settings recently i still get the same slow speed. I even tried reinstalling utorrent and using old versions but still to no avail.

Anyone out there to help?

Thanks

What settings are you using?

Your ISP may have singled you out for excessive use if you had upload speed set to unlimited in the past.

Settings are:

IPS - Optusnet

Modem - DSL 302G

Upload rate - 20 k/s

Disabled any port mapping

have no firewalls

port forwarded correcty - 65531

protocol encryption enabled

max number of connections 30 - 30 per torrent

upload slots per torrent 2

resolve peer ips disabled

allowed incoming legacy connections

.max half open - 8

these are only some of the settings i got from ultima's previous speed guide

they have always worked till recently
