Great speeds for 5mins then slow downs after the inital speed

Hi All,

I have a weird problem. I am using Vista Ultimate and utorrent. When I start utorrent I get great speeds...upto 300-500k. Then after about 5 mins or so the speed drops to under 10k (9.6k actually). I did the Glasnost test to see if my ISP iinet (in Australia) is tthrottling the speed but the test was successful. So I am at a loss....

Any ideals anybody???

Thx,

IInet is among the better ISPs, but it's likely you suffer from international penalties (When the new fiber c/o Google and Co. is completed next year maybe your providers may lighten up on the load--maybe??)

Be sure you're using correct settings for your connection http://utorrent.com/setup_guide.php If you download from too many people at once without uploading any.... you get no speeds after the first round of updates. The default and minimum interval for this to happen is 5 minutes.
