ugene55 Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Okay this is my problem. My download speed only goes up Max to like 90 k/b. I never even got it to 100 k/b. I read some forums were guys had speed like 200 k/b and 400k/b! THats outrageous! how do you get that speed. I have road runner high speed internet and i only get 90 k/bs. Can anyone tell me what do or what to change on my preferences. I already ported the utorrent port and that helped increase my speed, but it still isnt high enough.

thelittlefire Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Roadrunner (Time Warner Cable) internet ONLY allows you MAXIMUM of usually .5 Mbit. Change your Speed Guide (Ctrl-G) settings to xx/512 and see what happens then.Please check your version as well, what build are you using (press Alt-H-A to find out)... 1.8.1 fixes some problems with high numbers of concurrent connections.

torrero Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Go to www.speedtest.net and do the test. Then post a picture and we can suggest the appropiate settings for your speed guide (ctrl+g). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Was that with or without any p2p apps running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ugene55 Posted October 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 no that was without p2p apps running. Nothing was on. maybe some internet tabs thats it. but utorrent wasnt downloading or anything. I think i just need to change some of my preferences, but u guys are the pros, you know what to do.

thelittlefire Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Try it again not in primetime (7-11p local)... that looks REALLY bad for even a crippled cable connection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torrero Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 According to his speedtest, 752k/117khe is maximizing his internet connection (approx 90kB/sec). ugene55, does your download cap at 90kB too, when downloading from ftp servers? This seems to be the case and therefore everything is working as intended. You need to call your ISP and upgrade your internet connection plan, if you want more speed.

ugene55 Posted October 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 ya my max download speed is usually like 89-94 kb/s. Are you sure i dont need to tweak the preferences? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torrero Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 you can test the xx/96k or xx/128k settings in the speed guide (ctrl+g). But your connection is limiting you to 90KB.Remember, you have to divide the speedtest figures by 8 to get the speed in kBytes per second (which is around 90KB).If you want to download with 400KB/s you need an internet connection of 3200k+, or like the ISP call it "3.5 Mbps" or "3.5 Mbit/s" e.g.Currently you dont even have 1Mbps...

Switeck Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Make sure your upload speed is REGULARLY sustaining the upload max you told it to use!...Otherwise, you may have it set too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
