homerm06 Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Ok here's the deal. I have a uTorrent 8.1.8 on a Vista SP2 Beta with an AMD Athlon 64, 1 GB RAM all connected to a 2Wire 1701HG Gateway by AT&T with the Elite package (6.0Mbps DL - 786Kbps UL). I have the port 45682 open on my modem and my Windows Firewall is accepting transfers from uTorrent.uTorrent does not download any faster than 100KB/s. Especially with aXXo files, they download at about 12-20KB/s. I checked to see if AT&T was throttling me. Apparently not...http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p299/homerm06/Capture.jpghttp://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p299/homerm06/Capture1.jpghttp://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p299/homerm06/Capture2.jpgI took those screenshots to show what I'm talking about.... I don't know what else to do Like I said, I've opened up the port 45682 on my modem and Windows Firewall. Anything I do it is still slow...By the way, I'm getting my ISP from San Antonio, TX. I'm not sure if that might help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 :/ Tried http://slackware.com/torrents/ ??Even though it SAYS 768 Kbit/sec you may not actually have that much. Have you tried lowering the limit to say 15? That should be Ctrl-G numbers = to 128Kbit. .fully half of what you put out right now. The ISP might limit downloads... You have U-verse? Recently people have complained about upload problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 You're not uploading at 100 KB/sec so it's not surprising that at least sometimes you're not downloading that fast. (Seems you can't upload that fast.)If you used settings you saw in a YouTube video, then that's probably your problem...most of them are REALLY bad.2nd link in my signature for settings...try no higher than 700 kilobit/second upload settings.(ADSL has so much overhead that unless the ISP overprovisions, you cannot reach the stated max for anything.)...And you may have to use lower if your ISP isn't giving the full amount!

homerm06 Posted December 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Ok thanks for the replies but it goes on all day and my upload is limited to 30KB/s and the download is unlimited. I don't have YouTube settings and I also recently got Peer Guardian because I thought it was something to do with a P2P agency, now I realize that can't be because I'd be fined by now ADDED:I just added a new screenshot when my uTorrent has been running all night...http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p299/homerm06/Capture3.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rronqe27 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Hi, I'm new at torrenting , but after some experimenting I found a solution to my own problem and maybe it can help you too.I always get the yellow icon, although I'm getting max download speeds (90 kb/s)...Try this: Go to Preferences-> BitTorrent, and set Outgoing-> Forced.When download is started, set bandwidth allocation to High.This solved ma problem, although I'm not sure it will help you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claw_gr Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Also I noticed in the screenshot that utorrent didnt find the port open.. (it is in red and gives error)and the display icon isnt green either..That means either firewall, or incorrect portforwarding limits the connection..(since you get some data, it shouldnt be firewall, so check again www.portforward.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
