SupaDoopaTroopa Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Hey all,I have been experiencing slow download speeds for as long as I remember. I have Windows Vista, an SMC8013WG wireless router, and a very nice computer, but my download speeds for utorrent are very strange. The downloads usually go at 35-40 kBps, but will occasionally spike to 100 kBps or lag down to 2 kBps. I have utorrent port forwarded correctly, but I haven't been able to find any settings that will keep me above 50 kBps. My upload speed is always higher than my download speed for some reason, which is very annoying. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!My speedtest.net results:Screenshot of settings:Another: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 What speeds do you get on the test torrents from the How-To (OOo and Slackware)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 If your upload bandwidth is only 492 kilobits/sec, I don't see how you *EVER* reach 72 KiloBYTES/sec upload speed in uTorrent!You may want to increase connections per torrent to 30...or even 40 if you only typically run 1 or 2 torrents at once, or if only 1 or 2 of your total torrents are even likely to top 20 connections.

jewelisheaven Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Additionally you seem to be shaped by your ISP. You can try Forcing encryption and dis-allowing legacy connections to see if that helps you bypass automated restriction methods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
