feralbyte Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 I recently got a new router/modem when I got a new computer with vista on it. Had to try it, really wish I didnt. Its a D-link DSL-502t, H/W Ver: C5. Has the latest drivers and firmware. Had a lot of problems even getting it working on vista. Eventually I did but I was getting very strange download rates, drop outs and slow download of sites like google.com. Also Generic.Dos.Land attacks. So I fixed the ports and fiddled with the settings to get things going better. Also got suggestions from various help sites relating to those issues. I couldnt find a fix for the generic attacks that were coming from my IP. However since changing a few settings on my modem they seemed to have stopped. Altho they kept happening less often after the changes ie: from 8 every 2 minutes. to 2 every 10 minutes, and then just seemed to stop with no extra help. Now my net works fine in all areas. But I cant download torrents properly. I used to get 130kb+ downloads with no trouble. Now nothing above 40kb. Multiple torrents all the same. I've done all the right things. Tested ports, speed tests, encryption, various speed settings. I tried other torrent programs and I'm even back on XP Professional. Still the same problems. So its gotta be my modem. But only for torrents even when the ports are open? I've looked everywhere I can think of and tried everything I can think of. After a week of working on it. All thats happened is I now have a slightly more stable slow download rate. So I've decided its one of those little ticks that need to be unticked that I cant find. Please help me. Anything would be fantastic. If you need anymore info or specific settings please ask. Thank you for your time. PS: I just noticed the previous post thats pretty simliar to the problems I'm having. I started writting this a few hours ago. It gave me a few ideas of small things to try. No luck tho. But as a result didnt check new posts. sorry.

feralbyte Posted March 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 I think disabling peer and country resolving fixed it! Things were going faster but a couple of torrents still werent working too well. But I tried Open Office and it flew along. So at least now I know I just gotta be patient. Thank you!

Switeck Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Also, you probably can't effectively use any settings higher than about xx/512k in Speed Guide (CTRL+G).After all, if you're only averaging about 40 KB/sec down...your upload is probably even less.

feralbyte Posted March 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 No idea if its still working or not now. Just discovered my isp limited me. So in few weeks when I get unlimited again I'll have to re-test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
