Reichembach Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 HiI use uTorrent version 1.8.2 and I am trying to download but it seems to be going really slow (avg. 5.6 kB/s).There is a red icon at the bottom and sometimes it turns yellow.My speed test is:I use a wireless D-link model: DWL-G122 USB adapter.I dont know what to do...Somebody help please!!

jewelisheaven Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Wireless, USB, adapter-- really I'm surprised it works at all .You should lower your Ctrl-G settings. You could try the 224 Kbit/sec numbers @ http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=34259Also, if you use UPnP or NAT-PMP for your router, keep it enabled under Preferences > Connection. If not, disable them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reichembach Posted May 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 I changed the settings and both UPnP and NAT-PMP are selected...by the way, I have no idea what they are or mean. The speed is the same.Thanks for the atention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 OK following, http://utorrent.com/documentation/connection-setup what happens if you try downloading the openoffice or slackware testing torrents? Only need to try 1, and only for < 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reichembach Posted May 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 OK.I tried downloading openoffice and it went alot faster, went up to 21 kb/s and its average was about 14.6 kb/s, different than my other download: avg 5.6.What do i do now?

jewelisheaven Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Follow post #2 of the Read Me in my sig :/ It specifies features you can turn off, and other steps to try and squeeze the best performance out of your low-speed line.There's not much else to do after that unfortunately.

Switeck Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 You'll probably see slightly faster download/upload speeds if you disable: DHT, LPD, and Resolve IPs.Lowering bt.connect_speed to only 1-4 (this is new outgoing connection attempts per second) and net.max_halfopen to 4 (how many total outgoing TCP connection attempts to have at once) might also slightly increase download/upload speeds.

Reichembach Posted May 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 OkI did everything it said, turned everything off.net.max_halfopen was 8 and I put 4 like saidbt.connect_speed was 20 and I also put 4peer.resolve_country was false and I left it falsebt.transp_disposition was 0 and I put 5peer.lazy_bitfield was true and I left it true.I turned off all DHT, LPD and unchecked Resolve IPsAnd turned off UPnP and NAT-PMPI did everything it said but now it just stopped downloading, no peers anymore and no seeds too.what to do now??here are some more info to help...if it does.Firewall uTorrent exception is onI use Avast anti virus 4.8 proffesionalI opened a port (21637) but at the port checker it says it does not apear to open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Eeeew. OK, so even with http://slackware.com/torrents/ the file you were getting before it stopped as well?The purpose of turning those features off is to leave more of your little available bandwidth for actual data transfer. Unfortunately if your ISP is interfering with your downloading ability, you might need to leave DHT on. It's not alot of bandwidth but it is some. Alternatively, it's possible the ISP may have started actively disrupting or shaping connections. Are there any news on that in your local p2p or print media?

Reichembach Posted May 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Yes, everything stopped, no peers and no seeds, even with the DHT on it doesn't download, but a green icon appeared at the bottom but than it just disappeared.My ISP seems to be working fine, I tested it and everything is normal.

jewelisheaven Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 If you change back everything, does the downloading start again? Try finding where it stops working >< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reichembach Posted May 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 When I changed bt.transp_disposition back to 0 it started downloading again, and after I changed everything back to normal it went faster but its still slow though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 OK so, yeah transp_disposition isn't supported for your version? If you Alt-H-A what build of 1.8.2 are you using? Don't worry about it though, keep it at 0.See if changing thing back again helps... since your theoretical maximum is only < 32 KiB / sec every little bit helps, right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reichembach Posted May 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 I use build 14458I changed everything again and it stayed the same speed (around 2kb/s) Edit: I changed some stuff again and now it stays on 2kb/s but it goes to 6 and even 10kb/s, but than it lowers again. At least its an improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Lol, OK then. So leave things as you had them.I'm sorry I must have been... having visual impairment when I saw your speedtest. You can get close to your theoretical 32 KiByte / sec down on slackware... You're paying for a 256 Kbit downspeed line yes? Unfortunately the upload is keeping you from sharing effectively, @ 10:1 ratio your speedtest shows you can upload a TOTAL of maybe 4 KiByte / sec. And Given the overhead traffic created with the stuff that's still on You get ~ 3-3.5 to work with within uT, that is if you're not doing other things on your line.Does the speed problem seem to get better during different parts of the day? Have you checked a local torrent/site in ptbr langset? I'd mention http://dattebayo.com but apparently they took down their international operation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reichembach Posted May 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 OkThe speed stays the same around most part of the day and no, i didn't check a local torrent site in ptbr langset, ill try that, thanks. .Edit: By the way, the speed seems to be better now (around 8 and it even got to 19kb/s ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
