Utorrent speed keeps jumping up and down

[darknezx]

For me currently my speed hits about 10kb/s max, when I used to get 300kb/s 3 days ago. For the same torrent.

When I try to change the max upload limit to 0, the torrent briefly registers an increase in speed to around 350kb/s, before it begins to tumble down dramatically, from 350-250-100-10. I tried to delete the settings file (archive and the main file) but it didn't work. Any advice? Is it possible to delete every single setting?

Are you on Roadrunner or Comcast in the USA? They inject so-called RST packets (packets with RESET flag set) to disconnect you from your peers.

If you can download http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/ at your expected peak max... there is no problem in your configuration.

You may want to lower total number of connections under 200 though to decrease likelyhood of interference.

He's on SingNet, which has been previously known to throttle BitTorrent.

Yeah but the problem is that I've been getting my downloads to work on Bitcomet, and have been wondering why the torrents on utorrent can't connect properly at high speeds.

Settings are not exact, AND to make matters worse, ISP mangling means you need to lower the parameters uT will use.

If you'd not mind, could you Alt-Print Screen a picture of your Ctrl-G setting in uTorrent?

BitComet supposedly has some other encryption algorithm they use ("DHEv2") that seems to have been more successful in Asia, which would probably explain why it works fine.

I doubt they have a spec for it :/ I still havent figured out "LT seeding"
