NYCSavage Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 I am trying to download an important file and I am experiencing a few problems.Firstly about my equipment:Computer:9.6ghz (8mb cache) Intel Quad Core 2.4ghz4 gig ramModem:Ambit 256Router:Wireless-G Router WGR614v9Broadband:20meg cableAs you can see, my computer should be powerful enough to pass everything that is thrown at it, now the problem:The torrent I am downloading currently has 12941 seeds and yet I am only connected to one! Which means I am d/ling at an impressive 1kB/sec!I have tried switching off my firewall and restarting uTorrent to see if that works, still the same.Can anyone advise anything?

Firon Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 You can't simply turn the firewall off. You have to either uninstall it or configure it properly.You also need to forward ports in your router.Your download speed is irrelevant when configuring a P2P client. All settings are based off upload speed. http://www.utorrent.com/setup_guide.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCSavage Posted October 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Sorry, I meant I disabled my firewall and my router firewall.Completed all the settings as requested and then left my computer online for 7 hours. and the highest speed it has got to is 42kB/sec but its back down to 0.3kB/sec as im typing this!The rest of the interet is fine, streaming is seamless, so im presuming it can only be uTorrent.
