Speed problems!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jla123]

Hi

i have a problem which everybody seems to have a problem with as well

i used to download on high speeds (dl:630 kbps)

i have a 5 mb connection and am connected via router with a wireless connection which i share with two others.

i used to download pretty fast but now, barely 10 kbps (3o with luck)

i want to download some eztv shows and they dont move even after 8-22 hours (really)

i have checked my router settings and tthere is no problem with the WAN IP adress (i have a motorola surfboard whatever, a tp-link router and a modem)

even when all the other computers are off, no change

ireally hate this unbelievably annoying fact

its either a red sign or a yellow orange on the port thingy

i have changed the speed settings to the 5 mb setting given somewhere here and still, crap

please help me. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

any answer will be much apreciated.

The reference must be the max upload speed in Speed Guide. what is yours ?

[jla123]

what do you mean reference

ohh i think 560

[moogly]

Reference in Speed Guide. If you have a 8 Mega connection, that's not the reference to adjust uT but the max upload speed e.g. maybe 95 kB/s or less.

[jla123]

you mean divide it by 8 and multiply by 0.8

[Switeck]

Dividing by 8 and multiplying by 0.8 (80%) is the same as dividing by 10.

And knocking a 0 off the end is certainly easier to do without a calculator.

If speed tests show your connection as having 560 kilobits/second upload, then ~56 KiloBYTES/second upload speed is about all you're likely to get in uTorrent.

...And you'll probably get considerably less than that during peak hours or if your ISP disrupts BitTorrent traffic!

[jla123]

thanks but i checked the router stats and ip adresses

and my ISP is apparently not disrupting BT traffic

What's your upload speeds like in uTorrent?

It should be near the max upload speed limit you set in uTorrent most of the time if you're running busy torrents with lots of peers.
