umayrbilal Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Hello, I have a 2 mb internet connection, and using utorrent 1.7.7. Problem is that my isp is limiting the download speed on torrents and other P2P softwares like limewire etc. I cant get over 30KB/s speed which is really frustrating.. I wanted to know if there is any way i could tune up settings in my client or anything so that i could get the most out of my internet connection. Thankyou.!

Firon Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 What is your upload speed, and what do you have the limit set to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umayrbilal Posted March 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 My upload is 512 and i've set the limit to unlimited.. My isp has confirmed that they are limiting the speed to 40 KB/s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Decrease your settings.Run Speed Guide (CTRL+G) in uTorrent and choose the xx/384k setting then raise upload speed to anywhere between 40-55 KB/sec...depending on how 'laggy' general web surfing and online games get.

umayrbilal Posted March 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Thanks for your replies guys.. Switck, i did that but it just doesn't seem to work.. The speed cant get above 30KB/s no matter how good the seeders are.. Isn't there any way to bypass the limit set by the ISP?By the way i forgot to mention that the upload speed while seeding reaches even 40kB/s..

Switeck Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Does your regular web browser downloading go faster than that?Have you tried the latest uTorrent v1.8 beta?Did you experiment with the encryption settings and turn off "noisy" features in uTorrent such as DHT, UPnP, Resolve IPs, etc?

fjdslafjdsklaa Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 in uTorrent speed guide, make sure encryption is set to on, if you don't see that option, look under preferences -> Bit torrent. Protocol encryption outgoing set to forced. This should speed this up. set download limit to unlimited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umayrbilal Posted March 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Switeck, yes i easily get around 230 kB/s constant on other HTTP downloads.. and i tried everything you've mentioned..I installed utorrent 1.8, Encryption is Forced, I tried disabling DHT, UPnP etc but still no gain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matth Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 I've got the same problem Whenever I want to download a torrent I put download limit on 0 (= unlimited), but still it says "limited" under transfer. µtorrent only downloads at 10 kb/s. This problem came up when I downloaded the new version 1.8. Previously I didn't had that problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umayrbilal Posted March 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Your problem is not similar to mine, Matth.. Seems as some settings in your youtorrent is messed up which is limiting your speed, but my limitation on torrents has officially been announced by the ISP.. I just want to bypass that limit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahuman Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 You can't, you just gotta switch ISPs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Did you disable Resolve IPs in the Peers window?DHT, Local Peer Discovery, UPnP, as well as Resolve IPs needs to be disabled for this test...If you set half open max in uTorrent to 0, reboot your computer, modem, and router...and get the same internet ip....Do you still get limited to 30 KB/sec?NOTE:You must be unfirewalled in uTorrent(green light at bottom) AND not change internet ips when your reboot for this to have a CHANCE of working!

umayrbilal Posted March 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I'm sorry Switeck, i use Metro Ethernetwork Network, therefore my ip address is different everytime i log on to the internet.. But still i tried setting open half max value and disabling the things you mentioned but it stopped downloading at all, the status is stuck on 'updating' for hours and nothing happened..

Switeck Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 If your ip changes, and you don't send out new requests, (half open=0) then it is no surprise that downloads just die.However once a download/upload torrent has started, if you are not firewalled then you should still be able to set half open to 0 and the torrent should continue till your ip does change.
