Diggy Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Hi there,In the past, I used to download torrents at a good speed and connecting to a lot of seeds & peers. For example, every week I was used to download Prison Break's episode at 400 / 500 kb/s, which is good for my country (Portugal).But, suddenly my download speeds started to decrease, and download speeds went from 400 / 500 to a maximum of 50 / 70 kb/s.I didn't change any settings. I changed my router to a WRT54GL but I've used it for 2 weeks and my download speeds even inscreased! After that it started to descrease.----------------So far, I've used the TCP/IP patch to set max connections to 100 and I used the TCP Optimizer software.My uTorrent configurations are shown on this image: http://img79.imageshack.us/img79/6531/utorrentsettingszw5.jpg----------------The network status light is green.----------------The port is properly forwarded.----------------net.max_halfopen set to 50.----------------Using Win XP SP3----------------Using NOD32 Antivirus (already configured as you explain in the FAQ).----------------Router: WRT54GL with Tomato Firmware.----------------ISP: SAPO ADSL (Portugal) - Connection: ADSL / PPPoE----------------Speed test: Download: 6950 kb/s - Upload: 430 kb/s.----------------Thank you for your help.Best Regards,Diggy.

Switeck Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 "net.max_halfopen set to 50"Try more like 1/10th that -- like 5-8.2nd link in my signature for other settings in uTorrent. In your case, probably the 384 or 448 kilobits/second upload settings.If you haven't already, set outgoing encryption (under BitTorrent in preferences) to Enabled or FORCED.

Diggy Posted October 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Well I followed your instructions and it seemed to work pretty well. I was downloading a torrent at 50kb/s and now it's downloading at 150kb/s, which is already an acceptable value for my connection Thanks a lot.
