NeverWest Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I have recently purchased an xbox 360 and hooked it up to live. I was told by the nice people at Maplin i must purchase a router to play online. I now have a netgear WGR614v9. Yesterday i found torrents not starting, after googling for about an hour i found out i must "Forward my ports"I sucessfully done this and an album started downloading at a very high speed of 100kb.This morning, i got top speeds of 2Kb and carried on googling. No where really helped but i've downloaded Vuzeand it started a torrent at 30KB, utorrent seems to have copied it and now its getting my usual around 70KbI dont understand this, how has this hapened?

Switeck Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Luck, line overloads, ISP throttling methods... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverWest Posted June 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 No, i just told you. It only hapened when i bought a new wireless router.I have a new problem now, i'm trying different clients and they all behave the same, an album will download at about 40Kb and it suddenly goes down to about 3KB/s why is this!?!

Switeck Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 If your ISP just started throttling BitTorrent heavily, it may only be a coincidence that you installed a new router for your network.Try testing WITHOUT the router. Then you'll know whether to blame it or not."i get good speeds for like 1minute and it goes straight down to like 3KB a second"Ok, is it dropping connections? (uTorrent logger window or seeds/peers per torrent numbers dropping )Troublshooting/slow speed section of the 1st link in my signature did nothing?

NeverWest Posted June 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 I have tried everything. Using my normal internet doesn't even work, it says network cables are unplugged even if i go back to how my old internet was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 If you had static LAN ip set for your LAN card, that will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverWest Posted June 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 Im confused, i just need to know how to get my speed up. thats all! it took me ages doing all that forwarding stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Setting everything back to the way it was isn't easy if you don't know all the previous settings. I can't tell you what you had...But your computer's NIC card has to be set to "automatically assign an ip" under TCP/IP in order to work when directly connected to the modem.I don't have your brand of router.If portforward.com ROUTERS section doesn't list it, I don't know what to tell you.

Switeck Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 It's no fun flying blind and having people criticize your piloting.(Also Virgin Media sucks...and I can't help that.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 No, they are not:http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=53050Maybe your router is to blame...Have you tried getting a router manual for it?Asking the Net Gear manufacturer what the problem is?

NeverWest Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Fucking stupid virgin media. Well i cant ask netgear why my torrents are going slow, its illegal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 No it's not.Despite what ALL media industry propaganda may say, torrenting in and of itself is not illegal.Proof:Blizzard's updater for World of Warcraft.http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/http://www.slackware.com/getslack/torrents.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 "Well i cant ask netgear why my torrents are going slow, its illegal!"Why is asking netgear illegal?If the router's not working, they would be better than probably anyone to explain why!"Try testing WITHOUT the router.""I have tried everything. Using my normal internet doesn't even work, it says network cables are unplugged even if i go back to how my old internet was."Netgear should be able to explain that or offer a router manual.Does their website have a troubleshooting guide and/or forum?
