Roosta Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 I've been using torrents for a while and I know this shouldnt be happening, ever since a few weeks ago when I downloaded a newer version of utorrents, this dark green line appears in the status rectangle at the bottom of the screen (*Note: Its not the green line marking the downloading rate, this one is darker). Whenever I load utorrents, this line immediatly appears and shoots straight up to 25 kb/s and flatlines on that marker, never moving up or down. Ever since this started, my download speed on any of my torrents i used, most of them over 100 kb/s now dont go over 25 kb/s, they dont usually go much lower either, does anyone know whats wrong with my utorrents?-------------------My upload & download limit is at unlimited.Just noticed this, I dont usually have the upload showing in the status but the upload wont go above 25 kb/s either.System info:Manufacturer: DellModel: Inspiron 531SProcessor: AMD Athlon(tm0 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5600+ 2.90 GHzRAM: 4.00 GBSystem Type: 32-bit OS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Tried 1st and 2nd links in my signature? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roosta Posted July 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 I've already gone through the troubleshooting page and nothing on your second link helped -.-;-------------My uTorrents was working perfectly fine a few weeks ago so it makes sense that something happened recently, I'm going to try redownloading it....again...

Switeck Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 You must have missed the nuclear option (worst-case scenario) in the 1st link of my signature... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roosta Posted July 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Have I? Let me check again xDI checked again and I didnt see anything close to the words "Nuclear Option" or "Worst Case Scenario" o.o (Did a word find of the page, came up with nada).First link right?------------FYI...I redownloaded and reinstalled the latest version of uTorrents and I'm still getting that dark greenish bar >.<------------Update:Something else I just figured out that only proves further theres a problem >.<At the moment when the problem started, I only had one torrent downloading and then I got an idea, I resumed several other torrents and its just as I suspected, Its not the torrents themselves thats having the problem because it all fits, when one torrent went down, it was at 24.6, my other torrent was at 0.4 and they would just keep balancing themselves out perfectly so that to grand total always came out to be around 25 kb/s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roosta Posted July 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Shoulda called it that instead of calling it somthing thats not on the page, very confusing >.<...Right, your nuclear option sounds alot like just giving out information, But whatever, I'll try it...Alright, system info is located in my first post, the rest should be hereSo far, I've tried:Changing the upload and download speed (Learned something from this, when I go to change the download or upload limit, it wont show anything above 25. ie. I went to change it to 25 and that was as high as I could go.)Checked my firewall settings, its as it should beI checked my networking light, its green and a checkmark so were good.Tried enabling the protocol encryption thing, didnt helpPeer.lazy_bitfield is trueResults of my bittorrent test is BitTorrent traffic on a well-known BitTorrent port (6881) throttled?* There was a problem with the BitTorrent upload (seeding).

Roosta Posted July 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Not yet, to be honest, I was a little reluctant 'cause I've never done it before >.<I'll try it now....Right, I thought I knew where it was but I'm not entirely sure, mind letting me know where to do that at?Scratch all of that, I fixed it >.<While I was looking for the reset thing, I stumbled accross the global rates under bandwhidth in the preferences.....I dont know how they got changed, but they were both at 25 kb/s, when I put them back to 0, the dark green bar went away and now I am downloading correctly. If it werent for you guys, I would never have found that, thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roosta Posted July 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Well sorry, I'm a bit of a literal person xDD but uh, I fixed it...well not much of a fix but just resetting my preferences, though it is a bit odd, I have no idea how those got changed like that o.oThanks for your help anyway!!
