jewelisheaven Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 If you have not tested with OpenOffice please do so. Additionally re-run the speedtest from the Speed Guide (Ctrl-G) or one from a location geographically close to you and re-set the drop-down to your upload. 100 Mbit connection is referring to your Ethernet cable to your linksys. Changing this will also reduce your active torrent load which I believe is also overloading your connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Speed Guide (CTRL+G), the xx/192k setting is closest to your upload value of 212 kbps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dario Posted March 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Hii switeck,i have configure to that settings and it still doesnt work. i am able to d/l only 1 torrent, at a speed of 2kb/s...i really dont know what else to do..i am just wondering if this has something to do with a trojan or malwarre virus? recently i had this irritating "windows installer pop up" that appears each time i open up IE or microsoft office documents..it wld prompt installing microsoft office 2003 and i had to click on cancel each time..after i had this "pop ups" my torrents went kaapoot..cld it be attributed to that?my internet speed slows down,even downloading any other tings not torrent slowed down tremendously..if this is indeed the cause of the problem..does any kind soul over here have a possible solution to this problem? how do i get rid of this pop up..possible malware??i have tried running norton, yahoo anti spy,adaware,regcure,spybot,...nothing werks...sighzzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 HijackThis! and Process Explorer applications are much better suited to finding unknown hostile software than almost anything else. Try them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jewelisheaven Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Firstly, does the internet work fine while you're using one torrent program at a time?Secondly be sure if you're running more than one uT at once, you reduce the values of your settings (ALL applicable ones in Ctrl-G for ex) by the number of computers running simultaneously... i.e. your upload is 40, but you want to run uT on 3 computers, make the upload limit 13. The reason: to keep load consistent... making sure your running all that stuff isn't causing the troubles with your router.When you have internet interruption... does it solve itself automatically, or do you need to reboot something (modem / router / stop uT)?
