lwotton Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Hello. I'm an avid fan of uTorrent and have used it for a while now. I have a static IP on my laptop which links to my wireless router, Netgear DG834Gv2.I have port forwarded the correct port on my router to send anything from it to my laptop.I have patched my Vista with the TCIP patch. I have tried with encryption enabled, forced and disabled, I've tried turning NAT off and PnP from my router.My download speed within Mozilla is the usual 120kbps whilst downloading.I download Open Office in uTorrent at 0.1-0.5kbps. Usually it hits 120kbps pretty quickly, but now it doesn't.I've tried private trackers, public trackers and dedicated hosts. I've tried changing client and using Limewire but that also hit the same problem.I've checked my mother's computer and ran uTorrent on it and downloaded Open Office and it maxed it out quite quickly.I've checked with my ISP and they say there is no throttling method in place (I'm with AOL). My mother is with BT and doesn't have the problem. However I doubt it's a problem with AOL.However my mother left my router unplugged for a couple of hours by accident, thus resetting it. I've changed all the settings back to what they were but I'm still stuck at these ridiculously slow speeds. I'm at an end.Anyone any ideas? I'm sure it's a setting on my router, but I can't find which one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2good2b Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 you should start from scratch by reading and re-doing/un-doing what is documented here:http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=15992http://utorrent.com/guides.phpTo prove whether you have ANY INCOMING connections go to the peers' tab and check whether there are any connections with the flag I.If you don't see any turn on UPnP on your router and start utorrent again.

lwotton Posted March 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Right, last night it was going as slow as it has been, I then left it on overnight. After doing what 2good2b requested.Here's what I found this morning;If that's too small:uTorrent PictureThe flags, what do they indicate?It seems pretty normal, what do you think?

2good2b Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 The flags show a lot of I = port is forwarded correctly and allowing incoming connections.And because the speed is 116d/11u, it's a fair guess that your ISP did not interfere during the night. Until 7am at least.To find out whether they are actually throtteling keep it running during the day. Check the speed tab on 5 minutes interval, at what time the speed significantly drops. Then you will be able to work around that using the scheduler feature of uT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 You will need to check it > 2 times a day however, since uT only keeps 10 hours of data... but indeed 2good2b is right on the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
