Quip Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Using Bell internet, Speedstream 6520 Router. Ports are open, firewall is off, anti-virus is off, windows firewall is deactivated. I use no other bandwidth consuming program while downloading (Minus firefox once in a while) and my speeds are: D: 49.5kB/s T: 102.2MB U: 23.3kB/s T: 95.3MB (Upload is 23 because its set that way in prefs.)Results of speakeasy speed test below...D: 1914 kbps (239.3 KB/sec transfer rate)U: 318 kbps (39.8 KB/sec transfer rate)I am curious why I get such a crappy speed when Utorrent is the only program using the bandwidth. Any help is greatly appreciated.Quip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Bell? I think they mess up torrenting. Also, a firewall, when off, isn't actually off most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Bell shapes their peering partners, and apparently not themselves.... Did you test with http://slackware.com/torrents/ ? Testing throughout the day/week for 1-3 minutes may help you create a "shaping profile" of when you're likely to get the fastest speeds, in which case you can then use the Scheduler for those times.
