Switeck Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 "my settings are xx/384k?? does that sound right?"I don't know, by how fast your connection is...I meant how fast is it SUPPOSED to be. Download speeds in uTorrent should be somewhat to rather variable, even from 1 second to the next. Your upload speed should be virtually constant at the max upload speed you set.If you don't have a router...does your modem contain a mini-router and/or firewall?www.portforward.com at their ROUTERS section will probably list your modem if it's a mini-router and/or firewall type.

raindrops667 Posted July 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 I do use a router, I did a speed test and my upload speed was 356k/s. What else can I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Ok, xx/384k in Speed Guide (CTRL+G) is close enough to 356 kilobits/second upload speed.Does your modem contain a mini-router/firewall as well?(You'll have to check online and its manual, if you have one! www.portforward.com routers section!)On that really slow, really huge torrent you have going...Are you connected to many seeds and peers?Are you uploading to none/some/most/all the peers you're connecting to?Do seeds and peers seem to disconnect and disappear often?

raindrops667 Posted July 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 I have no idea about the connecting to seeds and peers? or if i am uploading to the peers... how do I tell all of that last portion of your message... i am so sorry but i am new to all of this stuff and the guides are to advanced for me... thank you for all of your help and time!

jewelisheaven Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Depends on your speeds... if you're consistently uploading near your limit, (i.e. check on the Speed tab, change to upload, scale back to 30 sec/5 min) see if it's a horizontal line.Follow the troubleshooting guide for connectivity issues...

Switeck Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Just as there is a Speed window at the bottom half of uTorrent, there is also one for Peers -- that will show you what peers+seeds you're connected to for the torrent you selected in the top window. (It only shows 1 torrent at a time.)The Logger window at the bottom will tell you when peers+seeds disconnect. A constant string of disconnects is a possible sign of your ISP breaking your connections. It certainly is in my case -- I'm on ComCast. Try readinghttp://www.utorrent.com/setup_guide.phpandhttp://www.utorrent.com/beginners-guide.php...if you haven't already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
