XF8X Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Alright so I'm at a college residence in Canada. My torrents were going around 400 kb+/s then all of a sudden a few weeks into the school year they dropped like crazy. Now my max speed is ~20kb/s. I've also noticed youtube etc is pretty choppy. I'm guessing the school limited my traffic or something? What can I do. Oh one last thing. I was downloading some 50MB files from rapidshare or something and they were going at ~2MB/s.... so wth.... Any help appreciated EDIT: Things I forgot to mention:My icon at the bottom is yellow and says (no incoming connections)Switched the port many times and it did nothingDeleted the settings filesTried other clientsFriend has same problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 See the IP your computer has assigned in the LAN properties. If it's a LAN IP, you can never forward a port. More than likely, that's probably the case here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Yep. You're behind your college's LAN. You can never forward a port on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XF8X Posted October 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 I don't get why it was initially fast though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 They probably installed P2P-blocking hardware. It's not uncommon, unfortunately.You can try turning on protocol encryption to see if it helps at all.http://broadband.mpi-sws.mpg.de/transparency/bttest.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
