Singnet (Singapore) speed problems

[thelazychicken93]

Hi,

I'm currently using Singnet Unlimited Broadband 8Mbps Plan (Singapore).

Installed uTorrent 1.8, Win XP Home SP3, COMODO Firewall Pro and Avira AntiVir Premium 8.1.0.367 and 2WIRE 2700HG-D Gateway.

Portforwarded the modem correctly (green tick), open firewall exceptions (for TCP/UDP, IP - IN/OUT)

Curr max concurr half-open connectns: 100 (EvID4226Patch223d-en)

Global Max connections: 200

Max nos of connected peers per torr: 100

net.max_halfopen: 50

However, my torrent speed is at 20-30kbps, even with 30+ seeds.

Surprising thing is that speedtest.net reported speeds lik 52194kbps.

Can somebody help me to solve this? Thanks =D

I am reasonably sure* that it messes with BT traffic, enabling/forcing encryption may help

* most ISPs in Singapore do that

Hi,

I am also on Singnet's Broadband plan. Been using utorrent for a year plus, been getting great speeds after port forwarding and adjusting all necessary settings.

Then recently, none of the torrents are downloading due to an inability to connect to peers.

Even the healthiest test torrents, which I used to gauge whether there was a problem, cannot be connected to.

The problem started recently after upgrading to the latest version of utorrent.

Perhaps this is related to your problem as well?

If you search the forums, you'll find that Singnet has indeed had a history of throttling. Whether they throttle BitTorrent entirely, on a region by region basis, or some kind of bandwidth usage threshold, I'm not sure.

Shien, a uTorrent upgrade may have caused your software firewall to block uTorrent...thinking that the utorrent.exe (being a new version, size, and contents) is now a virus-infected trojan.
