vx4clj Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 I more or less have no idea what I'm doing or how to fix it so any help possible would be appreciated but basically I am downloading a large file, and despite having a quick LAN connection, I have download and upload speeds of less than 5kb/s.....what am I doing wrong?

Switeck Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 BT Central ADSL ISP in the UK throttles BitTorrent traffic to very low values, at least during peak evening hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vx4clj Posted June 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Thanks a lot for the help, it seemed quite simple but just following that guide has meant that the download speed has already gone up to fluctuating between 20 and 80. Is there anything else I can do to keep it constant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 2nd link in my signature...you probably have very little upload speed, so even 512 kilobits/sec upload setting on my chart may be TOO high! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torrentdemon Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Well, you could try following the instructions in my Instructable (see sig for link). There are actually A LOT of things that you could do, more then what I can describe right here xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 torrentdemon, your recommendations to hack the max half-open TCP connections can be counter-productive on hostile ISPs who disrupt/throttle based on activity levels. Even on "good"/true ISPs, a high half open net.max_halfopen value can trigger underlying networking software and hardware problems...at least in many cheaper consumer products. (Any wireless/USB networking connections or routers made by Linksys and Belkin are notorious for this.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
