Hi,

i have search this forum but i am unable to find a proper solution. i am very sorry if i make any duplicate thread. i love utorrent. i did not have any speed problem before. i would get 45-100kps per torrent. i will only allow 3 torrent max to dl at one time. hence the overall dl speed would be around 80 - 90 kps. i usually get stuff from demonoid. for the past 1.5 week, i have extreamly very slow dl like o.1 - 1kps (max 2kps) per torrent. and the upload is abt 20kps per torrent. this is making me crazy. i am trying various setting but no change. plz help me. thanks alot.

Cable 6500kB/s download 600kB/s upload

Put some limits on your upload and download speeds. If you're overloading 1 even for an instant the other can suffer considerably for much longer.

Zone Alarm has been cause of lots of people's problems -- especially with 'high' security settings that decide to throw away alot of bittorrent traffic packets.

Thanks for your reply.

i actually try downloading opeanoffice like mention in some tread. suprisingly it download at blazing speed around 100kps.

i am very puzzled why my torrents are very very slow (around 2kps). i am now using port 1720 . i did not thick randomized port, hence i create and entry in my motorola modem to port fowared to 1720. i also reduce my security setting in zone alarm pro. but still no change. plz help thanks

please make global maximum upload rate "0" unlimited

Why?

He had that setting earlier and it wasn't working.

It doesn't do any good to try to upload ANY faster than the connection can reach.

I don't even think it's worth uploading any faster than your connection can SUSTAIN, which is often considerably lower than peak speeds.

i was expecting 1.4 would solve my problem but after i upgrade to version 1.4, i am still having the same problem. is there any ideal port apart from 6881 - 6999 (typical torrent port) i can try. i am guessing that the problem may be the port but i might be wrong.

plz help me thanks

6881-6999 are not ideal ports, commonly they are just blocked on ISPs, did u try ports like 80, 8080, 8008?

Hey, I suppoe you're a MaxOnline user. Starhub has been dropping Bittorrent connections. Though I called them up to enquire, they denied it.

I'm running MaxOnline Utimate and one fine day, my client is not uploading at all. It's damn obvious.

I advise you to use the latest uTorrent 1.4.1 beta or Azureus v2.3.0.7 beta client. And enable encryption. This will encrypt your headers or data (up to u to choose). It's supposed to bypass ISP's detection.

Give it a shot. :)

I am also having this problem. I am not sure if it has to do with the torrent, but i was downloading fine until it hit 96.3%. then downloading stopped (although there were 200+ seeders) and uploading was still going along fine. I am not connected to any seeders, but there are a lot available. I have everything enabled, DHT, protocol encryption set to "enabled" peer exchange etc.

Hi I am also downloading from demonoid, on this last torrent I have been having very slow downloads. I think the tracker is having problems getting the upload/download ratio working correctly. Currently both my upload and download are wrong for me and have not been updating correctly. For the last two days, it has been slow and not updating. I just now updated to the latest beta 421, so I had to stop the torrent. I also logged off the site, and logged back on. When I logged back on my ratio numbers were updated, and I have been getting a good download speed. I am keeping my fingers crossed!

I've been having the same MF problem .

I've worked at it for about a week and still have very low d/l speeds.

Only once did it ever go past 80 and after it was 90% complete it went to a .6 d/l rate

and has stayed there.

I have read all that I could to fix the problem, but no results.

I'm about to say F it if I can't get this fixed in the next few days.

My problem is not uncommon after I've read ever forum/help topic I could find.

Does someone have a gun ? ....Bang

I've reconfig every thing from the router to the fire wall, changing ports..ect..ect..

And I keep getting the SOS .

Hot Rocks

Rock On!

Hot Rocks,

We need to know a LOT more about your problem so we can at least make intelligent guesses as to the cause.

What's the official rated speed of your connection, both up and down?

Have you done online speed tests to verify you're getting close to the rated up and down speeds?

What type of connection do you have? (wireless, ADSL, cable, Fiber, ISDN, T-1 or better?)

Are you on a Wireless LAN? (Wireless ISPs tend to leave you completely firewalled because you are behind their router and it's not port forwarded.)

Is your computer connected to your modem by USB?

(Wireless and USB connections are almost always much slower and not able to handle as many connections as an ethernet connection.)

What kind of router do you have (if any)?

What brand AND model is your modem? (It probably needs to be checked for a mini-router and/or firewall that has to be configured.)

What Windows OS are you using? (Win XP SP2 and Vista can be particularly troublesome)
