enaco Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Hi,I am on a college network and i use utorrent 1.8.1 . I used to get good download speeds with utorrent. Around 300KB/s on a good seeded torrent. Interestingly , if i had like 10 active downloads at the same time , alltogether i used to get around 2.5 MB/s (It really didn't affect the individual downloading speed even if i downloaded more at the same time ) . Everything was just fine until i recently formatted my hard disk. I lost all my utorrent settings. These settings was actually set by one of my friend from college (he was my senior in college ). I have no means to contact him. Now the download speeds are like 25KB/s on a high seeded torrent.When i download any file using the internet explorer or firefox, i get a low speed of around 10KB/s. But when i use any download accelerator , it could go upto 300 KB/s and also i can download like 20+ files at the same time without affecting individual download speeds.It could be really helpful if anyone could help me with the best utorrent settings for my kind of internet connectionThanks for your time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thelittlefire Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 You could try Switeck's numbers for xx/1Mbit ? (Click 2nd signature link) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Uh...download speed: 256kbpsupload speed: 889kbpsAre those numbers reversed?Worse, even 889 kilobits/second is BARELY over 100 KiloBYTES/second.DON'T use the 1 megabit/second upload settings in Speed Guide, your line doesn't seem that fast!Instead use 800 kilobits/second (or lower) upload settings in the 2nd link of my signature.

thelittlefire Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 It's on a uni connection though. Experienced speeds show SOMETHING else at work... What AV / Securty / Firewall did you install after the format? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enaco Posted October 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 @ switekthe numbers are right.I used the settings you told . The speed still doesn't reach anywhere close to what i used to get. @ thelittlefirei installed KIS 7.0.1.325 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 If a speed tests reports a download speed of 256 kilobits/second, then you're almost certainly NOT going to get download speeds over 30 KiloBYTES/second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enaco Posted October 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 @switeckAs i said i use a college network which is shared by many people. if you want then i can provide a screenshot of me downloading 10 files at the same time each above 30 KB/s using Internet Download Manager.

Switeck Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Then your speed tests are probably in error -- your line is crippled in a very strange manner and/or your computer or network is screwed up....And I can't help any of that.

Switeck Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 You're probably losing as much or more for having more than 500 connections at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
