badger69 Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 I just moved this post from Troubleshooting now that I have it working on my laptop. Here is the issue:My Home desktop and my laptop run through the Linksys wireless network router to the high speed router. I tested using the same Fort Forward # in each machine (one at time). Did the speed tests and get an average 320 kb/s upload. Did a port forward test and it works for both systems (54071). Download speeds on laptop average around 60 kb/s (peak at 100), up is 35 kb/s which I'm happy with. What makes my old laptop work so much better than the new home PC? Can I make the home PC match?Here are my speed test results using the same settings for each computer. Router is Linksys WRT54GS v.2Old Laptop using XP & Broadcom 802.11 Network Adapter- Speed tests847 3031542 2832630 3002584 312New Desktop using Vista & Compact Wireless G USB Adapter- Same Settings306 324424 310633 307591 318Desktop download speeds are definitley slower. Not sure what can be plugging it up. I tried to download approximatley the same file to each system one at a time. Average file was (46) 845 seeds and (17) 383 Peers. Laptop download speeds averaged above 60 kb/s and peaked at over 100. Uploads averaged around 35 kb/s. Desktop download speeds averaged below 10kb/s and peaked around 25. Uploads were fairly constant around 35 kb/s.Gave each system about 25-30 minutes to reach capacity.I have not setup a manual Port Forward in the router because both systems port forward at 54071.Any help would be appreciated. If you need more info...hopefully I can answer. Not an expert here. Still learning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badger69 Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Ok! I downloaded from the laptop. (I'm hoping you meant to track the actual download speed) and it averaged over 100 kb/s and peaked at 267 kb/s.I downloaded from the Desktop and it averaged 70 kb/s and peaked at 135 kb/s. Even this is ok!So am I downloading bad torrents? Thats why I have this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllGamer Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 okay then it's not slow at all, those are quite decent speedso, yes your machines and uT are working fine.Just the torrents you are trying to download have low speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Bad uTorrent settings can also depress regular torrent download and upload speeds.Super-incredibly-over-seeded-with-fast-as-heck-seeds torrents like OpenOffice aren't affected as much by bad settings, so we use those to find out what download speeds a connection can reach....So, what settings are you using?
