Daigelmir Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Hi;I just upgraded my XP to SP3, and since then my Utorrent is downloading at a very slow speed (ranging from 9~20 kb/s). I have a 1 mb connection, and I rechecked my ports and firewall with no luck ... Utorrent was working just fine before the upgrade ... I'm using version 1.7.7.is there anything to do to overcome this problem?regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 You have 1Mbit download? Have you checked to see that you can sustain 100+ KiBps in uT from http://slackware.com/torrents/ ?You should only have to run it 1-3 minutes to see a sustained download speed. Have you checked through http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=15992Many people find settings change after an update. Be sure your uT Preferences did not change. Most commonly encryption and a high half-open are to blame. Turning it on and resetting to default should help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daigelmir Posted May 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Thanks jewelisheaven for the reply;I tried all the above but without a success ... I still have a slow download speed.. :/regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Right. How fast did you download from slackware? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanm Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 If you go to Admin Tools, Event Viewer, do you see "TCP/IP has reached the security limit imposed on the number of concurrent TCP connect attempts." under the System section? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daigelmir Posted May 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Well .. I gave it 5 mins ... and it was downloading at 9~16 kb/sEdit:@hermanmwell actually, it's stated in the event viewer that TCP/IP reached its limit twice, but how does that help if I may ask?regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 If even the test torrents are that slow you need to try the procedures (usually limiting your connection settings more and reducing active features) to see if you can increase THOSE, then you can presume other torrents CAN reach those speeds where the swarm allows.As far as hermanm's idea about connections, if you override Ctrl-P -> Advanced -> net.max_halfopen you will need to repatch your tcpip.sys after the installation of sp3 as it definitely would override your existing file to update it.

Firon Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 What is your upload cap set to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daigelmir Posted May 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 @jewelisheavenI see, so I need to patch the TCPIP.sys ... I saw a topic about this in this forum so I'll need to refer to it ... but what is the ideal settings for the patch? (I know that the default value for the TCP/IP connections is 10, but what is the suggested value?)also is there any configurations that I should make in the utorrent settings?@FironI'm sorry but I did really get you ... but if you mean the upload rate ... it is at the default setting (as the speed guide set it for me).thanks you all for your replysEdit:Ok ... I restarted my laptop and everything went back to normal ... strange huh?? and I haven't applied the patch ether! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Perhaps the cap is set too high for your connection...Have you disabled DHT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daigelmir Posted May 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Hi again ...it seems the problem came back again :/ and I don't know what's wrong!!what annoys me is that when I was using sp2 .. everything was fine ... it all happened when I updated my system to sp3 ...I also tried other torrent clients and they all have the same problem ...will there be a fix or a new version which will eliminate this problem?

Switeck Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Almost all 1 megabits/sec ADSL connections have no more than 1/3 of that as upload.Most only have 128 kilobits/sec to 256 kilobits/sec upload.You probably need to use xx/256k in Speed Guide, as Speed Guide does not automatically choose your settings based on your bandwidth for you.

Firon Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 If you have a software firewall, you may need to uninstall it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daigelmir Posted May 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 as I said before ... This problem occurred when I upgraded my system to sp3, but it seems that it's more than that. You see, I reverted back to sp2 then I restarted my computer ... After that I started using utorrent and it worked perfectly, or that's what I thought, but when the the first download had finished and the second download started, the problem was back again, and utorrent started to dl/ul at low speed (15 kb/s for dls - 9 kb/s for uls) ...although the network status in utorrent is always green, it's still dls/uls at low speed. I don't think that there is a firewall/router problem since those were already taken care of, and I don't think that this is a problem involving speed guide since the upload rate is also low.

shonofear Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 hey,found a solution 2 ya probs with XP Sp3 and TCP/IP errors...http://gbj.kazi.dk/?p=192#comment-1466enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Wrong, increasing the limit (especially to 500-600) is not the solution. Additionally, the TCPIP.sys thing is not new to Windows XP SP3. It's been around since SP2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
