DOWNLOADING TOO SLOW @ 30kbs, BUT HAVE CONNECTION SPEED OF 1.5mbs

[bandldf]

For some reason when downloading from uTorrent, my fastest speed is only about 30kbs at it's fastest but I have a connection speed of 1.5MBS. Under the logger tab I get the following message

[10:22:47] Error opening windows firewall: 0x80040154

But under my network settings, the windows firewall is not enabled and the only firewall I have running is Sygate, I even turned off the firewall on my BELKIN modem with wireless - G router

Anyone have any idea on how to fix my problem any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

ooooh haven't seen dodo users in a while :/ I'm not sure how fast up and down you guys should get on a general torrent :/ I know you guys've got quotas, so I'd recommend trying OOo download http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/ for only a minute to see if you can actually hit ~150KiBps :/ Are you trying to hit over wireless from your belkin? Additionally your Speed Guide settings (Ctrl-P -> BitTorrent) should be cut in about 1/2 or 1/3 of their set from your upload speed since Belkin isn't known for making stable routers

Cheers for the reply, I did a sample download and I can hit 156kbs, and my connection to the modem is via an ethernet cable. Just unsure how come I can acheive fast downloads of other files but using uTorrent, can only max at 30kbs?

Your ISP may be throttling BitTorrent traffic to 30 KiloBYTES/sec total.

Or your global upload speed max in uTorrent is set to only 5 KiloBYTES/sec...or less.
