LowFatMayo Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 so i have a linksys BEFSX41 router. i have a static ip address, and port forwarding enabled (with DHCP disabled, as it says in the router it's necessary for port forwarding) for the proper port for utorrent (i've tried three different ones now).my ISP is not throttling utorrent.All software firewalls are disabled, including Windows Vista firewall and I've completely uninstalled my internet security suite.futhermore, I've put myself through several optimized settings, made sure UPnP port mapping is disabled, etc. Also, I used a patch to increase my half-open TCP connections from 10 to 100.No matter what I do, the test for port forwarding always comes back negative. Furthermore, though I started with 80mbps download rates, it has steadily gone down for days, now it won't go over 20. I also have gone from a steady yellow light in Utorrent to a permanent red.Plz help... I really want to use uTorrent, even though BitLord has no such problems for me. Any suggestions?oh, ps... i did make sure to open the port before changing it on uTorrent so I don't get a false port opened test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckmoto Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Do you have PG2 running? If so...check it. It will block the test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowFatMayo Posted September 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 sure don't. i did notice that the download speed seems to drastically increase when i have firefox running in the background Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 I doubt BellSouth offers 10 megabits/second down max (and far less up), let alone 80 megabits/second down!Your settings in uTorrent are likely very BAD if you've made this critical mistake!Did you port forward your modem too?

thelittlefire Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 Modem ... depends on your make/model... try the second number returned from start > run > cmd /k tracert forum.utorrent.com or try the default gateway from cmd /k ipconfig with the computer connected directly to the modem (mine is 10.100.1.1 for instance) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 Your settings in uTorrent are still likely very BAD and causing at least part of your problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
