Frank Lee Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Ive read through some of the walkthroughs here, and have increased my DL speed a bit, but I still have the red circle. I am hooked up to the internet through my schools system, and cant seem to figure out how to open a port. I allowed uTorrent through my windows firewall, and set up my up load speeds per the walkthrough, but my speeds are still slow. At home my speeds would be near 170kb/s at school the highest ive seen yet has been 80kb/s.How would I open the ports to allow for downloads here at school?Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 At school, you're behind someone else's router that you cannot forward.If UPnP or NAT-PMP doesn't auto-forward it, you're probably permanently firewalled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Lee Posted January 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 So does that mean Im stuck with these speeds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Did you try 1st and 2nd links in my signature...for troubleshooting and speed settings?...If not, you'll probably get better speeds once you do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Lee Posted January 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I believe I did, but I will check that out when I have more time, thanks.Edit:I had my speeds up last night to around 200kb/s which is great for me. But now I just got back on and I cant get anything higher than 10kb/s. When it was working last night I had the yellow triangle, now I have a red circle. Is there anyone here that knows anything that I can do to get faster speeds through a school system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starwars246 Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 well, even if you managed to forward a port and get a green box, during the day, realistically your unlikely to get high speeds due to the amount of other people who would be on the network, and at night, because there would be a great deal fewer using the bandwidth your getting the 200Kb/s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Schools usually go to great lengths to block or at least severely throttle BitTorrent traffic.You're not SUPPOSED to get good speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
