All of the sudden

[Excubitor]

I don't know what happened, all of the sudden all the ports I tried seem to be blocked, yesterday I was able to download at 170kbps now it never goes above 30kbps. (Note: upload speed never changed.)

The green indicator turned to yellow, that is why I tested the ports, always with an "error!" response.

I've read the other posts about common procedures and all that stuff, I tried everything with no results at all.

Also now I cannot even surf the web if utorrent is active because, even when it says that is downloading at 20kbps, is like if it were using my entire brandwith.

I haven't installed anything new or changed the program's properties. My firewall is Karspersy and I have allowed al TCP and UDP connections for utorrent; I even stopped the firewall to see if that was the problem. I have no router and the dhcp of my cablemodem is disabled

So I haven't changed anything, there is no ruoter, the firewall is not blocking it, my ISP is not blocking it and I have followed the isntructions of the other posts (over and over again).

I have really no clue about what happend

please any help would be appreciated

[Switeck]

Your ISP can start crippling or throttling BitTorrent traffic without blocking it entirely.

[Excubitor]

I don't think so, but anyway what has throttling BitTorrent traffic to do with with my surfing speed being useless while utorrent is active. I can't see how those two events are related

[jewelisheaven]

Traffic shaping enforces lower bandwidth period. If your uT settings do not accommodate for that your speed will be just as impacted with the limited speeds as you would be if your speed were what you pay for and you try to overload uT's speed settings for that limit.

(I.e. You have an xx/384 connection and set your upload to 45 or higher.... If you're being shaped by the ISP to xx/128 for going over some AUP/FUP quota that means your upload NEEDS to be below 14 at least, for uT to not try and go over your enforced speed)

[Switeck]

There are numerous ISPs that cripple the ENTIRE connection if they sense BitTorrent traffic.

[Excubitor]

I tried lowering my speed setting for utorrent but the internet is still slow, I even tried with the dialup settings.

and about my ISP it does not cripple anything, the connection is always at the same speed wile downloading something, is surfing what doensn't work (ie: I start downloading something from the web, then I open uT, the download speed never goes down for the file mentioned, it only affects the surfing experience and of course the torrents speed)

So I still don't know what's going on, and I have no idea how to repair this

anyway thank you for the replies

[jewelisheaven]

Quite Right.. did you try to disable the extra features LPD, DHT, UPnP/NAT-PMP (if enabled)?

[Excubitor]

yes, I have done everthing that the sticky post and other posts say about the matter

[jewelisheaven]

If your ISP has put you on a limited plan enforcing a shaping profile, you must lower all your settings in uT. If things go all good and work at your limited speed without uT running (i.e. testing via HTTP or FTP downloads) and then it chokes up with uT running, it is possible the sole fact it can detect bittorrent traffic causes this as Switeck says. That's what the disabling and lowering connection settings hopefully takes care of. If it's caused by bandwidth, then lowering the limits within uT should help more.

Have you noticed the status and icon change at all to green throughout the last two days? If all else fails, you can ask the ISP directly if you have exceeded some bandwidth allocation and are being shaped.

[Excubitor]

ok I going to say this again...

My ISP doesn'y block or cripple any traffic, they cannot detect bittorrent traffic, they do nothing else but limiting the brandwith during certain hours of the day, but that only slows me down about 20%, nothing to really worry about. They have some limit in the amount of info that can be transferred, but is unreachable for a normal user (i.e. they start crippling only if you exeed the 50GB or so per month, but for me it is impossible to even reach the 10GB)

I have downloaded a lot more in the past and never changed, I asked if they've made some changes to their policies or whatever, but no, everything is just as it ever were.

resuming: as far as I know my ISP has nothing to do with it. Of course I have no ways of confirming this 100%, because I cannot guarantee that the info they gave me is real, or maybe the personal of the ISP support service doesn't even know about those kind of things

[Switeck]

Even if your problem is completely NOT caused by your ISP...

Try lowering settings to rather conservative amounts.

Some networking hardware and software get flakey when they have lots of connections at once.

[Excubitor]

I tried lowering my speed setting for utorrent but the internet is still slow, I even tried with the dialup settings.

[GTHK]

Just the speed? Try number of connection and download as well, play with it a bit.

[Ultima]

I even tried with the dialup settings.

"the dialup settings" sounds like "Dial-up (56k)" or "Dial-up (28k)" to me.

Because of the lack of any real lead, I guess I'll ask for a process list just to attempt to weed out any potential problems...

a) get HijackThis from trendsecure.com, run it, view the log, and post the contents here

get Process Explorer from sysinternals.com, run it, Ctrl+D (to show the lower DLL pane), select the µTorrent process from the list, Ctrl+S (and save the list somewhere you'll find easily -- like the Desktop), then post the contents of the saved process list in the .txt file here

Also, regarding Kaspersky, disabling it or turning it off won't rid your computer of its influence. Try uninstalling it (temporarily) to make sure it's definitely not the problem here (again, weeding out possibilities).

[Excubitor]

ok Ultima here is what you asked for (2 very long lists)

I'll try uninstalling kaspersky later

[Firon]

What is your connection's upload speed?

What is net.max_halfopen set to (found in Advanced)? It should be set to 8 or less.

[jewelisheaven]

... you were genfected by SOMETHING. Winlogon is rarely used by legitimate programs and to have so many corrupted entries >< I'd see if you can scan with a different anti-rootkit/spyware app to see if something comes up.... and I'd remove these O20 - Winlogon Notify: entries if possible.

The other mentions of those Kaspersky hooking DLLs on this forum don't seem to have identical symptoms

[Excubitor]

okO20 Winlogon entries removed

full scans and rootkit scans done with ad-aware, panda,kaspersky and avast: some trojans were found (but nothign to worry about)

searched for registry failures using registry mechanic and CCleaner

I uninstalled kasperky

and guess what... none of that worked

also Firon, my upload speed is 512kbps and the net.max_halfopen is set to 8

Oh man... I have absolutely no idea of what to do next....I'm gonna cry

[Ultima]

What does the speed tester in the Speed Guide show your connection's maximum upload rate to be? What does the Speed Guide show your current settings to be? Can you try setting net.max_halfopen to 4?

[Switeck]

What about this as a possible problem-causer?:

wbhelp.dll WindowBlinds Helper DLL Stardock.Net, Inc 4.00.0000.0001

wblind.dll WindowBlinds (32 bit XP) Stardock Corporation 6.00.0000.0000

wbsys.dll WindowBlinds Stardock.Net, Inc 5.05.0000.0000

[Excubitor]

oh WindowBlinds is just a skin manager

now to the important thing: I finally discovered the cause

I tought: nothing is wrong with my pc and nothing is wrong with my ISP, but between those two there is this cablemodem, of course it does not block any ports, but I've been doing some research and found about uncapping and all those things, so I realized that someone cloned my MAC adress, adn my connection got crippled. Now I'm making some changes to my modem settings that will render my MAC useless, that is to stop the other guy. I cannot tell about this problem to my ISP because how I'm I supposed to tell that I discovered that, that will get me in trouble too; because those thing are not supposed to be known by jsut anybody.

Anyway I have connection again, I "deleted" the other one, so I can download again and the cloner will get no connection.

Thank you to all you who listened to my problem

thank you for your replies, for your patience, for your help.
