Angushh Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Hi all,I am a new user to bit torrent and i have a few questions on speed1. I have recently switched from 10M Virgin Broadband to 5M BT Homehub 2.0. I used to get up to 200kB/s on download (with Virgin) but now i am down to 50kB/s. Is this a good speed for my BT line?2. If this is not a good speed, is there any way to change it (apart from changing ISP!)? I have set up port forwarding with hub manager (my green tick at the bottom always on) and the port forwarding test from "option", "speed guide" indicates that is is OK.Any suggestion/ help is very much appreciated!

Switeck Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 5 megabit/second down should be able to do ~500 KB/sec in uTorrent on extremely well-seeded torrents.2nd link in my signature gives uTorrent settings based on your max UPLOAD speeds, which are probably terribly low compared to your max download.

Angushh Posted November 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Thanks,I have done a speed test on the line and uses 80% of the upload speed for the upload limit.Would my Norton Internet Security be slowing down the download as well? Do i need to tweak Norton as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Norton Internet Security may be interfering heavily with uTorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
