I don't know how fast your line is, down and up.

Or what uTorrent settings you're trying and failing with.

Or how awful a torrent you're trying to get. (If you're not connected to any seeds and all the peers have about as much as you do, it stinks.)

I didn't see anything about ISPs in your link. :(

"under global upload rate, max upload rate is assigned 5 kBps"

"max. no. of connected peers per torrent is 20, and no. of uplaod slots per torrent is 5; also the use additional upload slots if upload speed <90% is checked"

So you're uploading at 5 KiloBYTES/sec spread across however many torrents you have running AND splitting that again 5 times (5 upload slots) per torrent. Yet you're managing to download at >20 KiloBYTES/sec! Wow, you win. :)

...And totally didn't follow my speed guide. :P

no for doing these tests i restarted my computer.

then connected the internet and performed these tests.

now presently my speed while downloading through utorrent is sumtines 37 kB/s (as seen max. till date), and an avg 0f 26 kB/s and even some times goes to 8 kB/s :(

but my friend who uses the same broadband connection gets a speed of 200 kB/s as an avg. and sumtimes even more depending on the torrent.

he can download a 700 MB file in 1 and half hours or a max of 2 hours

and i did the same in 8 and half hours.

that is more than four times :(

regards
