jewelisheaven Posted February 22, 2008 Report Posted February 22, 2008 Welcome to the forum and thank you for the information about your setup You don't mention... your speedtest UPLOAD values. From that list of your settings I presume you've got .5Mbit up? That seems a bit off if you've got 50Mbit down :// Are you sure you're not talking about your wireless speed? 2.5MBps down is ~ 20 Mbit. As far as the connections that's great It's not too high and there's room to grow your torrents as long as you're not running more than 3 simultaneously.The torrent information is less important since seeds and connected peers and therefore availability is variable. What we need to figure out is whether the dissonance between your speedtest (theoretical maximum throughput) and sustained bittorrent downloads can be lessened some. So can you try OpenOffice Torrents and see if you still get ~ 40KiBps average download??If that's the case, try Ctrl-P -> BitTorrent -> force encryption, and disallow legacy connections. Check the speed again. If that still shows no improvement perhaps you'll benefit from the in-development 1.8 uT from the Announcements forum. To be sure it's not interfering with your current settings you'll want to run it self-encapsulated.
Switeck Posted February 23, 2008 Report Posted February 23, 2008 Bell Sympatico in Canada is throttling BitTorrent traffic basically 24-7 now to at most around 60 KB/sec and often less than 30 KB/sec, especially during peak evening hours.Is your upload speed "suffering" as well?Upload speed should stay at or near max limit.
