xucphra Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I've had speed problems lately; as I've gotten a new laptop; and just installed uTorrent recently; following all the instructions to optimize my download speeds.As for the required information# Green status light.# Port is forwarded correctly# Connection type set to xx/384k# net.max_halfopen set to 40# Windows XP installed# No firewall# Linksys WRT54GS V7# ISP >> onelinkpr.net # Speed test results always result:Download speeds are from 2500 to 3000 kb. Average of 2884Upload speeds are from 300 to 400 kb. Average of 361 Hope I can find a way of fixing this.The reason I know that I'm not getting optimal download speeds is because as soon as I changed the uTorrent settings; I got download speeds of 150 kb/s. But then about 5 minutes later it went back to the usual 15-35 and has stayed that way ever sinceEDIT: It has just been brought to my attention that One Link [my ISP] was previously called Adelphia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 The half-open should absolutely not be that high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xucphra Posted February 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 What should I put it at?Speaking of which; I used the TCPIP.sys patch to increase the halfopen connections in Windows.And also; I couldn't help but notice my ISP on the throttle list. It says it has a 2+ encryption level. Not sure what that means; but help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 You need to turn on protocol encryption.And set it back to the default of 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xucphra Posted February 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I have encryption enabled in the Speed GuideThe reason I know that I'm not getting optimal speeds is because I have seen my speeds go really high; although they usually are low Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/index.htmlAnd how does a torrent from here run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xucphra Posted February 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 It started off at 5 kb/s; jumped to 150kb/s then went back down to 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Hrm. If you haven't already done so, try using the µTorrent 1.8 alpha found in the announcements thread to see if it helps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xucphra Posted February 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 This might helphttp://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o29/xucphra/bittorrent.jpghttp://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o29/xucphra/connection.jpghttp://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o29/xucphra/downloads.jpghttp://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o29/xucphra/general.jpghttp://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o29/xucphra/other-1.jpghttp://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o29/xucphra/queueing.jpghttp://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o29/xucphra/speeds.jpgAnd the Advanced Settings are all at default Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Nope, it doesn't reveal much more than you've already told us before. Again, try the 1.8 alpha to see if it helps. Why? This. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xucphra Posted February 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 And the alpha will stop the throttling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 It has helped some users, yes, though I can't possibly guarantee that it'll work for you. In fact, I can't even guarantee that OneLink is actually throttling you; I can only make a conjecture about it based on the (limited) things I've seen on Google.

xucphra Posted February 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Well thanks; I'll try it and I'll let you know the results. Also; I found this: http://onelinkteclava.com/powerlink/cap-mensual-de-data-en-powerlinkWhich says [if you don't speak spanish] that the cap is 150 kb/s and the limit is 40GB...even though the company says that it is supposed to be 4MB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Advertising 4mbit/s and actually providing only 1.5mbit/s? If so, then that's some massively deceptive advertisement campaign they've got going there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xucphra Posted February 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 No change. It's actually lower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Try lowering the Speed Guide settings to xx/256k. You're continuing to test using the OpenOffice.org torrent, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xucphra Posted February 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Ever since updating to the alpha; the upload speeds have been extremely inconsistent.Now when i decrease the Speed Settings; the upload goes to 0 and the download averages around 40.EDIT: now my downloads never go higher than 10 kb/s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
