Settings help (Bell Sympatico High Speed - Canada)

[cloak33]

Hey guys, despite all the faqs and settings I've tried I just can't seem to break 25kB/s download. This is on a torrent with high seeders and few leechers.

My max download from a fast server is about 600kB/s, my max upload is about 80kB/s. What would my optimum settings be for these stats in uTorrent v.1.7.5?

I do have a port forwarded in the 50K range and it is verified as open.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Limiting connections to under 100 global and 20 per torrent should help make sure you are getting the least amount of overhead for the most amount of traffic.

That's pretty much where I was. I'm uploading at the same speed I'm downloading. It's driving me nuts!

Hmm then I probably missed something. Forum Searching for "Bell" should work, or bell sympatico

Heh I do know some of you guys are very generous, I get 30 KiBps sustained regularly from individual peers.

Bell Sympatico recently started systematically crippling BitTorrent download speeds to about 60 KiloBYTES/sec absolute max even during non-peak hours and less than 30 during peak hours.

...In some areas, BitTorrent may be blocked completely during peak hours and limited to under 30 during non-peak hours.

So you might want to reduce connections some so you get the most file download speeds out of what little they still give you.
