gunanatomy Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Windows Vista, D-Link DIR-655Avast antivirus, Super Antispyware, Spybot Search and Destroy installedISP is Northwestel.netNetwork status: Sometimes yellow triangle, sometimes green checkmark in circlePort is forwarded and openSpeed test: D/L speed: 3617 Kb/s, U/L speed: 369 Kb/s (dslreports.com)lowering net.max_halfopen: 4lowering bt.connect_speed: 10DHT disabledUPnP and NAT-PMP disabledpeer.resolve_country: falsebt.transp_disposition: 5max. global number of connections: 50Current settings: D: 400kB/s, U: 17kB/sI've tried nearly everything I can find, short of a patch because I'm not 100% comfortable with doing that yet. I've set up a static IP, forwarded the port and everything. Checker says port is open. Speeds hover between 2.0 and 0.1 kB/s, but if I screw around with the download/upload settings and then restart my computer, speeds will shoot up to 250 kB/s and then drop back down within a few seconds, regardless of how many available seeders. Glasnost says my ISP isn't throttling BitTorrent. I can occasionally get the speed to stay around 20-50 kB/s, but rarely and randomly. It doesn't seem to matter what my settings are, nothing changes significantly or for any length of time.Please, any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Switeck Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Do you get the same horrible results on the test torrents mentioned in 1st link in my signature? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunanatomy Posted May 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Yes, it doesn't matter what I'm trying to download, it's always the same problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Either a misconfigured "learning" software firewall, bad drivers (overloading), or a bad ISP...those are what I deem most likely in no particular order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
