Ultima Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 What's your max up speed? And try to provide more information as asked for in this thread =]Your router is known to have problems unless you have the right firmware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kharaa Posted January 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 I beleive my up is 384.(I think 40-45ish is the highest i get in upload) 4.20.7 is my firmware on the router.when i did the port test in Utorrent it said it was OK(I beleive I have DMZ enabled.)I don't quite see where to get the network error or ok message is at, but there's no red message that I can see sticking out anywhere.

Ultima Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Your upload speed is set too high. Try about 80% of your maximum, meaning something around 35KB/s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kharaa Posted January 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Well now i'm hitting about 64 for my down speed. for only 6 out of 49 seeds, does that sound right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Honestly, it depends on the torrent. Test if you can max out your connection (should be around 500KB/s) using the OpenOffice.org 2.0.1 torrent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultima Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Did you test the torrent I linked to above? If it can max your line out, then it's probably the torrent that's slow (might be other factors, but it's more likely the torrent). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankandsteph Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Ultima,I tested your torrent from above and ran at about 300-350kbps. My ISP is comcast, I have tested my bandwidth at 2670kbps up and 360 down. I am using Zone Alarm firewall on my winxp system, have my port forwarded correctly and have a "Network OK". I went throught the speed guide, optimized my settings per the utility and directions.So with that as background does 300-350 sound ok, I was just concerend as you mentioned that the comcast service should hit around 500. Is that beacause I am only getting 2670 on what should be a 4meg comcast connection?thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
