xeles Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Good morning,After downloading the new version for utorrent, 1.8.3, I've been having difficulty with download speed most of the time. I tried following some of the guides specified, but I'm not entirely sure where I've gone wrong. (I'm not very tech savvy.) I'm currently using Verizon Fios with it's firewall. I applied the port forwarding requirements, but even though I have a green icon, as I test it to see if its open, I receive the error that the port isn't open. Using Actiontec MI-424-WRv2 router.My speed test is: My average download speed on the torrent is 2.0-4.6 kb/s and with connection to 2-6 peers out of 706 on one torrent. However the upload rate is 276.1 kb/s~ (could this be the problem?)If it helps, I'm using Avast antivirus, Windows Vista, Windows Firewall is disabled. This is what I ended up with after some trial and error. (I know one or more of these numbers are way off. :| ) Thank you for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 I'm not familiar with whatever firewall you get from Verizon...but it's likely contributing to your problem.Change your maximum global download rate from 20 back to 0.Try the 2nd link in my signature, 10 megabit/sec upload settings.

xeles Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Revising the second link really helped, the download rate is now 300-430 kb/s. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Is upload speed sometimes/usually/always maxing out at the new max limit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xeles Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 The speed now sometimes maxes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Good, that means at least the UPLOAD is working ok! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
