Very Strange Problem With Downloading Torrents

[brokencow]

I've installed Windows 7 Beta recently and installed all my programs along with it, including Utorrent. What surprised me was how well it worked right away. I didn't have to port forward anything, it did it all by it's self. Somehow, even my modem(Belkin F5d7230-4) was port forwarded. I'm not sure if that is because of Windows 7 Beta or not.

I was able to get download speed faster than what I was getting on XP which was great, because no matter how hard I tried to fix my settings, I could never get anything over 100k which was very annoying. Now I was getting speeds up to 900k a sec. I was surprised to find I that my internet speed was the same and virtually unaffected by the torrent being downloaded. Further more, I could even play CS:S with out any lag AT ALL.

Needless to say I was very pleased with the way things were going...that is until today when all of that just stop working for no reason at all it seems. I decided to check everything to see if something was messed up for any reason, but nothing changed. To be safe, I reset my router, and redid all my firewall settings.

Now I'm back to horrible XP style downloading speeds( seeds at 14(5015) then goes down to 1 and just just drags along, hovers around 40k a sec) and I lag when I try to play CS:S and the internet crawls when even downloading a really small file(350mb).

Can anyone shed some light on what happen, or why I might have been able to do this in the first place?

Let me know what other information you might need to help you out in determining what the problem might be.

You reset the modem too?
