Sla-dreamer Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I have been looking over the posts and talking with various friends about downloading and I wanted to make sure that I might just have a slow computer. I am using clearwire as an ISP I only have a 1.5 MB download speed. I am using a wireless router A d-link dir-625. I have port forwarded as well as changing the port to a higher #. I did a speed test on Mega Path which is the closest server to my location. I usually get around 600 kb sO i know that I am going to be downloading slow. I was just wondering if having a 1-5 kb/s rate is normal for the circumstances that I have. I have tried disabling some setting on my firewall, as well as limiting my upload speed. I have a total ratio rating of 2.034. I have also tried plugging my modem directing into my computer circumventing the router and have found that this really doesn't help either. When I tried to download the slackware I got around the same speeds. It would cap out out at around 20 kb/s but then drop to below 10... I just bought this computer so I am not sure if there is anything else I should be looking at. I appreciate your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Clearwire is known to throttle BitTorrent. Try using µTorrent 1.8 and enable encryption (or force it with legacy incoming connections disabled). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
