Firon Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Uh, 50kbyte/s is very close to your connection's maximum. You can't get any better except by paying for a faster plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Make sure your uTorrent settings match your connection's upload capabilities.2nd link in my signature.If upload speed max is set too high or too low, download speed will almost always be reduced.

Switeck Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 It seems you don't have a 512 kilobits/second UPLOAD connection if you're never even topping 20 KB/sec upload speed!Sounds more like your upload is only about 1/4 as fast as your download.So yes, you should probably use the 128 or 160 kilobits/second setting instead.Port forwarding is necessary if you can't get the green light in uTorrent.net.max_halfopen really shouldn't be set higher than 8 if you're using USB and/or wireless networking.
