cutlery Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 This is the second major obstacle I've had to overcome and I've registered just to help many others with the problem.If you have Sympatico you are most likely getting your torrent speeds capped at 30 kB/s.For some people it's from 5pm-midnight, for some people it's all the time.And no, forced encryption alone does not help.If you look around, most people with this problem just recommend getting a new ISPWell after a bunch of research I've finally solved this problem1. Prefrences > ConnectionChange your uTorrent port to 1723 (make sure to make this change in your router/firewall as well)2. Prefrences > BitTorrentUncheck Enable DHT NetworkUncheck Enable DHT for new torrentsSet outgoing protocol encryption to ForcedUncheck Allow incoming legacy connections3. Reset modemAnd your speed is no longer capped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zlo2 Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Didn't work for me either, not surprisingly. I don't think bell is that stupid. Unless cutlery can explain how he came up with his magical solution, I say, don't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 There's 'extreme' hiding tricks to get better speeds:http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=361747#p361747(Note: My post immediately following that one explains what settings in uTorrent are similar to the Azureus ones.)...but such hiding tricks are *NOT* easy to do!Vaguely similar settings in uTorrent:http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=58714Do understand these could just as easily not work. They are only good against certain kinds of BitTorrent throttling.The low connection limits are bad if the ISP is rate-limiting EACH connection to <5 KB/sec.
