cumagutsa Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 HiFirst time on the forum and still new to utorrent.. Now my query is that I get good download speed but after a few minutes it drops to around 4 or 5 then shoots back up to 16 to 20 or more. This occurs whether there are 2 0r 50 seeds/peers. I have gone thru portforwarding and speed tests and followed ( hopefully) the correct setup. ISP is iinet which ,I dont think throttles. Have tried several diff ports to forward with the same result. UPnp disabled.Encryption enabled.Up speed set at 5( 80%) down set at 30. Router is a netcom NB5Plus4w. Port is open and working. Wireless connection @ 45mbpsAnything I am missing?Help or suggestions please.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Run a new speed test with utorrent closed, along with any other bandwidth consuming app.Then tell me what the speedtest says (in kilobits per second). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cumagutsa Posted July 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 OK D/l is 213kbps and u/L is 51kbpsThanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Hmm, that's pretty low... your connection's max is basically about 20KB/s. You're not going to get very consistent speeds from that.Only run one torrent at a time, lower connection max to 40, and disable DHT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cumagutsa Posted July 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Had connections set at 55 but have changed to 40 and already had DHT disabled...just a thought, I have been watching the peer's column and saw that they bounce up and down some with their download / upload speeds so maybe thay are what are causing the erratic movements due to their connections??Still tho my erratic speed has not changed with the changes you have advised..what about a lower port number say 1720?? Thanks once again.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Different port won't help, your internet's just too slow to get consistent speeds. Lower upload slots to 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cumagutsa Posted July 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Yes I have done that already...but thanks for your help I will just have to accept my position and live with itCiao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Is your internet supposed to be only ~256 kilobits/second down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
