gdw298 Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Hi,Ive been using utorrent for years now, and never had a problem.Until this afternoon.I was just sitting at the laptop downloading at a constant 75kb due to the wirless network being shared.I was also in the process of updating windows to service pack 3. It finished installing and now all of the suddent utorrent wont dowload anything, occasionally reaching speeds of 0.5kbs, and topping out at 1.9kbs.Thinking this was due to the service pack 3 upgrade that messed it up, I did a system restore to the previous day, but still wont work.Ive tried all the net.max_halfopen stuff, I downloaded and used the evID4226 patch, still no avail.Im not going to try the port forwarding thing, as I have never ever had to bother with that stuff, especially now as I use my laptop over my girlfriends house and its her Dad's wireless setup, im not going to mess about with it.It only started as soon as I updated windows to service pack 3.My IE/Firefox web downloads work fine, they use the full speed, its just P2P prgrams that dont work.Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I think I have exhausted every other method.Right now I am seriously contemplating putting my recovery disc into the laptop and just wiping it and starting again.Please help.

Ultima Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=15992Tried the suggestions here? How do the test torrents run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 I'm pretty sure your ISP is hostile to BitTorrent traffic. (Tiscali?)Have you tried the latest v1.8.1 beta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdw298 Posted September 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 The test torrents from the help page run the same as the normal ones, at about 0.2kbs. I download from a private tracker that I donate to, and it has been working great since I started with torrents.It all went dead almost instantly when I updated windows.Its acting very firewall-ish. Not even Limewire works anymore.I dont have any firewall switched on, so unless the new windows update has its own built in P2P blocker then im stuck.Im very close to just wiping the whole laptop and starting again.

Firon Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 Run 1.8.1 and make sure net.max_halfopen is set to 8. Give it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 1st and 2nd links in my signature.BTCentral ISP in UK I think throttles BitTorrent traffic at least during peak hours...so you'll need lower settings to use during them.

Switeck Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 No you didn't...because if you did, you'd be listing stuff we needed to troubleshoot further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prettyboy95 Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 And if i reinstall all my system will it be working again or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 If the reason it was messed up in the first place was because of a networking setup mistake...no.That's why we really need for you to list some information about what you've done and how uTorrent is set up.
