thekriz Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Hi, i have an upload speed problem, like you read from the title. When I do a speedtest from www.speedtest.net i find out that my upload speed is about 550 kb/s or about 60 kB/s. But when I seed or upload while downloading my speed doesn't get above 7, occasionally 10 kB/s. The port I'm using utorrent or any other torrenting program is fine, the test shows that its open, but the icon down below is yellow or red. I have read the Bad ISPs from azureuswiki and my country (estonia), let alone ISP isn't in it. And when I upload a file to lets say RapidShare or any other site my upload speed is fine, ranging from 55-60 kB/s. I have also read the speed guide and the setup guide and followed it, but those didn't work. I've also searched from google hundreds of times and not come up with anything. Can anyone here help me? On private torrent sites I'm always shown as connectible or connected, but it's the public torrents I'm worried about. I run Windows Vista, SP1, Core2Duo 2.2 GHz, 2GB RAM, just bought a new computer a few months ago. When I had my old computer, which was Windows XP SP2, 512mb RAM, 1.8 GHz processor, I also had this problem. When I open utorrent I get a lot of peer disconnects and machine refuses on the logging tab. I've searched about that also, but it didn't come up with anything new. When I used Deluge some time ago to try it out my speeds were better for some time, but it was a short time solution. Also my download speed isnt that good, but getting 80-90 kB/s or semi-popular torrents on a 1Mbit/s line isn't that bad. Oh, just remembered that when I used Deluge, I connected to about 70 seeds and leechers at a time, but now I connect to only 15 or 20 seeds and a few leechers. I've tried turning off firewalls on my WiFi router, Windows firewall isn't on at all, even tried to turn off my antivirus, which is Kaspersky 7.0 and still nothing works.

Switeck Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Try level 3-5 on this chart:http://www.azureuswiki.com/index.php/Avoid_traffic_shaping#Escalation_of_the_crypto_settingsAzureus encryption level 3 is equivalent to µTorrent's "Enable" for outgoing encryption with "Allow legacy incoming connections" uncheckedAzureus encryption level 4 is equivalent to µTorrent's "Forced" for outgoing encryption with "Allow legacy incoming connections" uncheckedAzureus encryption level 5 doesn't really have an equivalent in µTorrent. uTorrent's DHT can be disabled and uTorrent can be firewalled by a router, preventing your computer from "seeing" incoming connections.

thekriz Posted September 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Still the same. And my friend has the same ISP and his upload speed is fine, he can seed just fine. The only difference is that he gets his internet directly from the ISP, while I don't. My internet comes from a different company, who probably gets his internet from the ISP. When I do any tests, which show the provider, it still comes up as the ISP that my friend has. Maybe the company in between is screwing things?E: OK my light just went green, but the upload remained the same, just 7-10 kB/s. Also, I have to keep my upload at 4 kB/s or my downloads will slow down from 50 to 5.Tried Vuze, didn't work, back to uTorrent now.E2: Never mind about the green light. It's back to yellow now.

Switeck Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Even sometimes goes into firewalled mode...Definite networking overload.While it is possible there's some monkey-business by one or both of the ISPs, you better rule out another possibility as well...It could be a virus or trojan.Process Explorer, TCP View, and HijackThis! ...and no I'm not kidding!1st link in my signature...and hurry!

It said that no throttle on all 3 ports, but the upload was only 51-53 kbit/s. So it isn't my ISP, but something else.EDIT2: I'm not sure that this helps but I used to have a 56 kbit/s upload connection with 1 mbit down. It shows on my speedtest.net page. I have a cable internet, so it is connected through an unknown modem with about 15 different routers. I don't know the modem's mark or webpage, but you know how they limit the connection: 1 router gets an equal amount of the total connection, which is about 16 mbit/s, even when im the only one online I only get about 1150 kbit/s down. But about 6 months ago they took the limiter down for a few days and when they put it back my upload was faster and it's been like that ever since. But the torrent and all p2p programs my upload speed is still like before they took the limiter down, 50 kbit/s on torrents and 500 kbit/s on uploading to any other things, like webpages. But while sending e-mails and uploading stuff through, lets say skype, to other people, i dont get over 8 kB/s. And that sucks, because its the same with online gaming. When I play WarRock or any other p2p game I cant play with over than 8 people including me. Maybe it's the modem that is confused. I don't know, thats only my theory and I only know some stuff about computers, not about modems or routers or internet itself for that matter.If you read all the text here and my above post, you must have a lot of time in your hands Thanks for all of your help, even if I don't get it fixed.

Switeck Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 TCPView shows closing connections in red, new connections in green, and connections changing state in yellow. Unchanged connections remain in white. Seeing lots of connections in red either means your half open rate in uTorrent is set way too high or your ISP may be disconnecting BitTorrent connections to cripple your speeds.What is your half open rate in uTorrent?A 56 kbit/s upload connection is absolutely atrocious on the part of your ISP. That's not even 7 usable KiloBYTES/second upload speed. It's simply NOT fast enough to do much...and your latency (pingtimes) will be high if you're uploading near that max.So it seems your overload problem wasn't caused by viruses/trojans...but instead a VERY slow upload connection.Try uTorrent v1.8.1 beta with global upload max set to 3-5 KiloBYTES/second.Missing and damaged entries need to be repaired/removed:O2 - BHO: BitComet ClickCapture - {39F7E362-828A-4B5A-BCAF-5B79BFDFEA60} - (no file)O2 - BHO: (no name) - {4E7BD74F-2B8D-469E-CCB0-B130EEDBE97C} - (no file)O2 - BHO: (no name) - {AA58ED58-01DD-4d91-8333-CF10577473F7} - (no file)O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {2318C2B1-4965-11d4-9B18-009027A5CD4F} - (no file)O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {4E7BD74F-2B8D-469E-CCB0-B130EEDBE97C} - (no file)O9 - Extra button: BitComet - {D18A0B52-D63C-4ed0-AFC6-C1E3DC1AF43A} - res://C:\Program Files\BitComet\tools\BitCometBHO_1.2.1.2.dll/206 (file missing)O23 - Service: Apache2.2 - Unknown owner - C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\bin\httpd.exe (file missing)O23 - Service: Google Updater Service (gusvc) - Unknown owner - C:\Program Files\Google\Common\Google Updater\GoogleUpdaterService.exe (file missing)O10 - Unknown file in Winsock LSP: c:\windows\system32\nwprovau.dllnwprovau.dll Client Service for NetWare Provider and Authentication Package DLL Microsoft Corporation 5.01.2600.3015http://www.pchell.com/support/nwprovau_dll_file.shtmlThe file nwprovau.dll is a legitimate file installed by Client Service for NetWare. Its usually installed for the IPX/SPX protocol that is rarely used anymore. This is why it doesn't show up in EVERY hijackthis log file. However, the question remains: is the file needed if Client Service for Netware is not running on the computer? In my testing, the entry in the Hijackthis log is not needed if you are not using Netware and the IPX/SPX protocol is not installed on your computer. Since most networks now have standardized on using the TCP/IP protocol, this shouldn't be a problem if its removed.Can I Remove NWPROVAU.DLL From the Hijackthis log?The answer to this question will depend on what you are doing. If your computer is connected to a Netware network, you should leave the file and entry intact. If, however, you find this log entry on a standalone computer or a personal computer that is NOT using Netware then you can for all practical purposes remove the file.

thekriz Posted September 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 I installed IPX on purpose, because I wanted to play some older games via LAN with my friends. My half-open rate is only 4. So there's no way of repairing it without contacting my ISP? Well, I'll e-mail them then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 I remember first installing IPX to play Warcraft Before TCP/IP became big, ROFLAsk them if they muck with your incoming/outgoing packets... if they deny it say your fax machine stopped sending faxes. Sometimes ISPs take business problems more seriously than stuff relegated to "network management" :/ good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 thekriz,Best I can tell the only thing you're doing "wrong" is you are unlucky to be on that rotten ISP.May better come to your area...and soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
