tontsa00 Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Hi!I'm using utorrent 1.8.2 and experiencing weird download speeds.I have 30 mbit/s dl and 1 mbit/s upload. I'm using cable connection, Netgear CM232 modem. And using a Buffolo wlan wireless router since i have only one cable port in my netgear modem.I tried downloading this:http://www.slackware.com/torrents/slackware-10.2-install-d1.torrentAnd got 1.6- 2.0 mbit/s for download speed, but when i download something else for example some tv show full season download speed drops to 40 kbit/s-100 kbit/s.I have set download speed as unlimited and upload speed as 100 kbit/s.So could someone please help me with my problem so i could figure out why i can't get other torrents faster as i should be.

DreadWingKnight Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 uTorrent displays its speeds in *byte/sec. Outside of the speed guide, EVERYTHING in uTorrent is in *byte/secSlackware giving 2+Mbyte/sec on download speed on your connection is reasonable.Are you reachable?Have you followed the connection setup guide?

tontsa00 Posted March 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 I have followed setup guide. But what does reachable in utorrent mean? Does it also affect if there are only 10 seeders and 60 leechers, to have slower download speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Being reachable means your port is forwarded properly. Not forwarding ports can cause slowdowns because it heavily limits the pool of peers that can connect to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tontsa00 Posted March 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 I seem to be reachable since i always have green connection, and my connection is ok, and i also tested my 55645 port and it's always open and accepting connections.Weird since i downloaded that slakware iso file in 45 minutes and that other file witch i want to download should take couple of hours but it does not, and it seems to take couple of days instead.Well it does not matter since i could wait longer, but if it is possible to get it download faster i would be greatly appreciate any help to do so.

Switeck Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 What are the other seeds and peers doing on the "bad" torrent/s?Do you see a huge clump of peers within 5% of each other? (This is often the sign of a very slow seeder!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
