lazboy Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 I recently posted regarding my Utorrent and the fact it wasn't working like it used to. Its sorted now and I have a green ticon at the bottom but it tends to download anywhere from 0-20kbs which on my connection is pretty poor.I read that ISP's are throttling torrents now and I was wondering if this the reason. However, I have port forwarded through my router but I haven't got a static IP address...My current settings are;D-Link DSL2640R Router (plugged into the back of my PC)Windows XPAOL UK (which is a max 2.2MB connection)Windows Firewall (on)AVG 8.0 (on)My Utorrent used to be able to get around 200kbs on download and about 40 MAX on upload. Ever since I updated my utorrent though its had shocking speeds...Any help will be much appreciated...btw, I'm not great with computer terminology...

thelittlefire Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 AOL I believe rents from Carphone (which the moderators can see) and.. well they aren't very nice to BT. If you follow the parts about limiting settings from http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=15992 and try changing encryption/dht settings it may work some better.

Switeck Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 You're not alone.Your ISP (Carphone Warehouse Broadband Services -- which resells internet access to AOL and others) is COMPLETELY hostile to BitTorrent traffic:http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=46778 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
