Hello,

Ive done all the settings as directed by the guides and i have that green symbol at the bottom. my ports are open but i dont know why i keep getting slow speeds.

I download axxo torrents and everyone knows that they have seeders in the thousands and i used to get speeds of 50 kbps but recently while downloading the same torrents i get 7 to 10 kbps.

but when i downloaded the latest ubuntu 8.10 that released on 30 th october i was getting speeds of 52kbps.

Can some one pl help me out here. a 700mb file takes days to download :(

and what is the concept of seeders "connecting"? and how would i know that? like my seeders are like this 21(789)???

update:

k so another thing i noticed is and would like to update:

Im downloading an axxo torrent that has an availability of 10.994

I have seeders of 9(10026) I guess that means that i am only connected to 9 seeders out of 10,000!!!!! why is that?

and my peers are 4(14145)

WHY WHY WHY :'(

thanks but I have followed the firts link already and i dont know what to do with the second link.??

Like max torr connections and max upload slot.. how do i eben change these, there is no option for them in the preferences..

# EVERYTHING you've tried so far, including ANYTHING listed above (please be as explicit and specific as you can). Tell us what your changed settings are.

Ive followed the port foreward guides and setup my router, i then followed the DHCP guide and set my static ip outside my DHCP range. I get the green status light at the bottom now.

# The state/value of all of the options you were recommended to change up above.

I use win xp, a tp-link router (adsl), I get excellent download speeds when downloading from ftp sites. I also get 50 kbps download speed when i downloaded ubuntu 8.10 from their torrent.

# Color of the network status light in µTorrent's status bar (at the bottom of the µTorrent main window)

it is green and Port 57668 is open and accepting connections

# What the port checker from the Speed Guide writes

Port 57669 is open and accepting connections

# What the Speed Guide shows your settings to be (press Ctrl+G in µTorrent)

already mentioned above

# What you have net.max_halfopen set to (Preferences > Advanced in µTorrent)

8

# Operating system installed (Windows XP, 2000, ME, 98, 95, NT? Something else?)

Windows XP SP2

# Security software installed (firewall, antivirus, antispyware, antiadware)

Avira Antivirus.

No firewall installed.

No antispyware installed.

# Exact router model(s), and exact modem model

ZTE ZXDSL 831 Series

# ISP (Internet Service Provider) being used

PTCL Broadband

# Connection type (DSL, cable, dial-up), and the results obtained from the speed test (when running the Speed Guide), for both download AND upload. Be sure that you aren't using your connection for any other reason besides testing, while testing. That means no downloading, no IMing, no µTorrent running, no browser activity (other than the testing), etc. Additionally, no other computer on your network (if any) should be using the connection. When you select a testing mirror, use the ones that are geographically closest to you.

DSL - 512 Kbps package

speed test results:

Down speed: 388 Kbps

Up speed: 100Kbps

Latency: 179ms

Your upload, according to that speed test is only 100 kilobits/second.

So use either 92 or 128 kilobit/second upload-based settings from my alternate Speed Guide chart (2nd link in my signature).

If you disable DHT, LPD, and Resolve IPs (right-click in PEERS window of an active torrent to disable), then you can probably use the 128 kilobit/second upload-based settings ok.

Thx for the tips switeck but I have done as you say and My speeds still suck. My browser of ftp downloads easily reach 50kbps so then why not torrents?

So just to see if the current file i am downloading may be bad. I downloaded another very popular torrent which has 5000 seeders but out of 5000 i am only connecting to 7..... Why is that?

Can this be the reason? if so how do I solve 7(5432)???

Your ISP doesn't like bittorrent transfers.

Connected peers doesn't make your speed better. However there MAY be a problem if it's always 7 DIFFERENT peers every minute; that's not enough time to get much data from an specific peer before things happen.

There's only so much you can do. Try something drastic. Set 10 connections TOTAL and only run 1 torrent. Do you still have problems with peers disconnecting and speeds being non-constant?

Peers tab for while they're connected.

Logger tab for when they disconnect. (You may need to right-click in that window and turn on logging of connections.)

Mostly it's just to confirm if your problem is constant disconnects (either bad connection or hostile ISP) or very bad speeds from peers/seeds (typically ISP throttling.)

If you do not understand the chart, this link explains my chart further:

http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=361023#p361023

Was per-torrent and global connections max set at least 10 or higher?

If so, in the PEERS window/tab at bottom, do almost all of them just sit idle or only transfer at <2 KB/sec each?

Disable DHT (both kinds), LPD, and Resolve IPs (right-click in PEERS window of an active torrent to disable.)

Limit regular upload speed max limit to 10 KB/sec OR LESS...if you haven't already.

(The alternate upload speed limit may be a little higher, such as 12 KB/sec...but it's not really necessary to set that.)

It is unreasonable to expect on every torrent to download much faster than you upload...someone has to be doing the reverse! So sometimes you may only be downloading 60-150% of your upload speed.

Encryption settings might help. Outgoing encryption FORCED, incoming legacy...try both enabled for awhile then disabled and see which one seems better.

k so before i try that.

My isp does not hate torrents, like i mentioned in my first post: my friends are also connected to the same ISP and they get a stable 50kbps for ALL torrents.

also im sure nothing else is stealing my bandwith cause when i download from the internet, like ftp. I get a constant and stable speed of 53 kbps.

Edit: While browsing mininova.com I saw some one giving a list of trackers. He said to add these trackers to your torrent and you will get better speeds. So I did so and now im getting speeds of 40kbps to 44 kbps.

So does this mean anything?

here are the trackers:
