Hi all, first post here as I have never had an issue before with speed.

With my last connection, same company but fibre, I was getting between 200 and 700kbs coming down depending on torrent.

But now, I can only get todays torrent downloading at (now) average 44.7kb/s

The best speed I have had is 202kb/s last night on one of the most popular torrents

I usually have the yellow light on down the bottom, but with a bit of fiddling and time the green light comes on, but when I check port forwarding in the speed guide I still get

Error! Port 44710 does not appear to be open.

I have done all the port forwarding stuff several times and followed the directions to the letter with no results, this is for a Netgear CG814WG V3 modem.

I have searched the forum and found this similar issue here

Most frustrating,

Suggestions please

As an addition to the above post I have

Gone and performed all steps as per instructions again

I have spoken to netgear and telstra

I have turned off comp. and modem after re configuring everything.

I got the green light and when I did the uTorrent port checker got a green light there as well, but still only had a 40kb/s download speed

Several minutes later I had the green light with a tick but port checker said

Error! Port 44710 does not appear to be open.

I have

8 of 18 seeds connected (24 in swarm)

5 of 51 peers connected (20 in swarm)

upload set at 18kb/s as per directions

Help please

Wow, a few minutes after port checker says error! as above I check again and get

OK! Port 44710 is open and accepting connections.

yet still only 20ish kb/s now

Bizarre

Let me guess Public Tracker?

BigPond cable upload is 256k

Your settings should reflect that

So the upload should be set at 22k.

17mbps download.

Set download to 2mbps rather than unlimited.

OK, so I did that and still get speeds no different and still have the yellow light on

Interestingly I tried a test torrent from here http://torrent.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/ (the first one) and with the original settings posted previously was getting speeds in excess of 808.9kb/s.

This was with the green light on, but soon after went yellow and still maintained the high speed.

stopped and re-started and jumped back to 800+, still with yellow light on

You're probably overloading your connection, causing uTorrent to think it's firewalled...
