shinsannn Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Hi. I've been using uTorrent for awhile now. I've noticed that my downloading speed is always in the range of 14kb/s or lower. I've followed a few guides to increase my speed.Here's my speed infoPORTFORWARDING - I've tried portwarding but after opening the port, i check, and it's still not open. I've checked my firewall settings and it has uTorrent as an exception. :/ CURRENT DOWNLOADING SPEED - Yesterday i followed this video http://youtube.com/watch?v=NVq2GkzNrY8 I was surprised to see that it actually worked because my speed increased to about 90kb/s and i was happy. but after that i went ahead to open the current port. that's when everything went downhill, literally. because right now my down speed is barely 1kb/s.what am i doing wrong? How do i deal with my firewall settings and port forwarding?Thank you for any info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 The settings recommended by the video are total and utter crap. I was prepared to stop watching it as soon as it recommended a specific port number.Stick to the official setup guide. And select xx/256k in the Speed Guide -- your connection most definitely can't handle 65KiB/s upload. As for the port issue... well, that's also handled in the setup guide (resolving NAT issues). If it doesn't help, we'll need more information (like what router, modem, and firewall you're using). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinsannn Posted April 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 oh ok. Well, after the video, it did increased my download speed. i'll try following the official one. thanks.My modem is 2wire - 2701HG-B : gateway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 There is no setting that's one-size-fits-all, and the video's creator seems to assume there is (and that's exactly why the settings it suggests are worthless).Are you using any firewall? Have you checked this yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinsannn Posted April 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Yes. I've opened the port through that website and going to my router's firewall settings. But when i check to see if it's open, it's still not open. That's what confuses me. I've followed the instructions carefully. Checking port 45682 on 71.139.14.24...Error! Port 45682 does not appear to be open.:/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
