craft Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 First of, i just wanna say that i think uTorrent is an excellent BT.M, and i'm a frequent visitor of the forums. but after i updated to v1.4 i'm getting ridiculously slow download speeds.Right now i'm downloading a 699MB file with a availability of 16.999, but i'm not getting a higher download speed than 3-4kbps, but the upload is 40-50kbps. The ratio is 2.550 (?!!)Now i read other topics in the forum, followed the speed-guide. but it isn't working!I shut down all my programs + the firewall, I tested my connection and it was 1282 down and 368 up.I have a wireless 802.11 network, and i'm downloading from other p2p and download managers as fast as always. Anyone know what i can do?Any help is much appriciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craft Posted January 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 So is there anyone who can give some advice?with a cherry on the top! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midori Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 yeah i'm really starting to worry... i too am getting downloads with speeds of 4kb/s....and so i was searching around the web to find out how to make the speed better. And they all suggested changing the port #... And so I changed it to 50000 and in my firewall as well. i have no idea why but its now going at a speed of 0kb/s for all of my downloads. Before changing the port i had 16 avail, now i have 0.917 and at most times my upload is working but not my download.Please i hope there is a way to fix this problem!

Firon Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 midori: get a better ISP, Rogers throttles BitTorrent. Try port 1720, but it may not work, since it only works on some areas.craft: did you pick the xx/384k option in the Speed Guide? is DHT on? what's your router/modem? network OK?
