Mur Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 I have been trying everything to get this download speed up and i cannot seem to get it to move to a good settings to do that.Right now my utorrent (1.8.1) is downloading 18-40 kb/s, spikes at 100 -at times- and i limited my upload to 35 kb/s and only have one active torrent. The torrent i am testing on has 1140 seeds and 11056 peers.I have tried all kinds of settings in the bandwidth section but its currently at global 100 / max 40 / upload 4. My provider is a company called Mountain Cable in Canada and they 'do not' limit torrents...they just suck at uploading and even tested at Glasnost. I am running on a x9000, 4 gigs and 7200 RPM hd and this is on a ethernet gigabyte connection to a gigabyte router (DIR-655).Turned off resolve ip, upnp, nat-pmp, DHT, firewall (both router and windows), virus scannerEdited Forced encryption, forwarded port on 58### (green), patched TCPIP.sys to 50, used TCPOptimizer.exei did the slackware test and i could get up to 790 kbs but with any other torrents i hardly hit max 100thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 You'll need to be patient then. BitTorrent doesn't guarantee speeds, and you're at the mercy of other peers' upload rates (which often aren't that great). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Leave uTorrent's advanced setting net.max_halfopen set to 8 (or less) even though you patched windows. Raising it tends to just burn more bandwidth...reducing speeds beyond the 1st minute or 2 of starting a torrent.2nd link in my signature for conservative settings for uTorrent based on upload speed/bandwidth.

Mur Posted October 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 its set to 8 already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Ok, good.Try setting outgoing encryption to enabled or FORCED as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mur Posted October 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 as i stated above its set to forced already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Sorry missed that info. See if the OpenOffice test torrent (mentioned in 1st link of my signature) downloads faster.It would be good to have that as a baseline for what your connection CAN do.Beyond that, not much else you can try except this kind of stealth/encryption tricks in uTorrent:http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=361747#p361747...Or an encrypted proxy if you think the problem is ISP-related BitTorrent throttling.Doing the reverse might work...lowering outgoing encryption to enabled instead of forced.
