EuropaCar Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Hi, so I have an issue with my bittorrent download speedsI get the little notification at the bottom that tells me I have no incoming connections. Also, for a single torrent I currently get around 50kB/s I've seen as high as 100kB/s and as low as 0.1kB/s. When using multiple torrents I've gotten up to ~250kB/s overall. So an average of 50kB/s isn't good, especially when I always hear about people getting several hundred.First, I tried setting the upload/download max values as suggested. It does seem to help, and it brought my speed from a crawling 3kB/s to what it is now.I don't think it's a torrent issue because I've tried downloading the most popular torrents and there's improvement but I still only get like 100kB/s MAX - it still has a resting average of like 70I then tried to figure out what's going on with the 'no incoming connections' issue - maybe that's what's slowing it down?I made a static IP and configured port forwarding for my router. Yet the port checker still asserts that it's not forwarded correctly. I've checked all settings and everything seems exactly right..My firewall doesn't block bittorrent.Every once in a while I will see the message go away and turn into a green checkmark. But most of the time it shows an error.Any suggestions?Aright I'm gonna go ahead and answer those questions:Max upload: 250kB/sMax download: 500kB/sThe network status icon is yellow normally (although sometimes it's green - like now as i type, it just turned green)Port checker returns: An error has occurred! Port 47200 does not appear to be open.Speed guide says:- upload limit 250kB/s- connections per torrent 50-max active torrents 8-upload slots 4-connections global 200-max active downloads 5net.max_halfopen: 8 (this edit should only produce small effects)running windows XPmcafee packacge (firewall, antivirus, etc.)linksys wrt54g routerand using comcast cable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Are you really capable of uploading 250 KB/sec stable...or is that just your burst speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
