circleda Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 This is a pretty weird problem I'm having with torrents/p2p. A normal connection online give me speeds of 3500-4000k/s. As soon as I open up either Azureus or utorrent and start downloading (even at speeds below 1k/s) my connection speed drops to about 1000k/s and lower, usually around 500k/s as it starts to download faster, or with two computers running p2p software.WTF is going on? I ran soooo many speed tests with my computer connected to the cable modem directly, then downloading files normally (via firefox), then torrenting, and the torrent drops my speed. I did tests wired and wirelessly. I eventually had three computers online wirelessly with normal speeds until 1 or 2 ran a p2p application.Here's my info:Earthlink Cable Ericsson PipeRider cable modemLinksys WRT54G v4 RouterWindows XP Pro (no service packs)ZoneAlarm firewall (NAT tests OK) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boo Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 not sure about what you are trying to say, but I get a feeling that says your problem really is that you don't understand how BT works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slayers Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Have you caped your upstream to 80% of your max? If you clog your upstream bandwidth you will severely hinder your download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
