metatronj Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Hi Guys. I'm facing a very irritating problem with my speed these days and need your help and advice. I have a 512kbps plan which gives me up to 55-60 kbps while downloading files through uTorrent. And it was all working fine but since a weeks time I'm getting an average speed of only 15-20 kbps. It does touch 50-55 kbps once in a while (coz I keep a check on the graph) but then it drops down tremendously and lingers in the range of 20's. Like I said I've been using the same service provider and the same plan and I get speeds up to 70 kbps when downloading files normally using a browser. It's just when I start downloading files using uTorrent that I seem to face this problem. And yes I tried it with files having 700 seeds at a time so it isn't related to the number of seeds too. It's just beyond my understanding, could anyone out there please help me solve this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Maybe your ISP has started throttling BitTorrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theuncontactable Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 System: uTorrent 1.8.2 -> Wine 1.1.16 -> Ubuntu 8.10 -> Asus AS2500 AMD laptopI had the same problem too. I was getting 100-400kB/s but periodically it would drop down to 10kB/s. I also thought that my ports were being block by my ISP. Although the green icon is on and whenever is at 10kB/s, I checked my ports with "shields up" https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 and it says that my ports are either in stealth mode or closed. So I kept on changing and forwarding my ports for about twice a day.Searched everywhere and checked everything for the problem until I came across this thread: http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=39558then I disable ipv6 at the OS level:http://en.kioskea.net/faq/sujet-759-disabling-ipv6-supportSo far I have monitored it for three days and utorrent is running at top speeds consistently apart from one time but that was due to an I/O problem.
