MauiWowie Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Hi all,I have, as of the past two-to-three months, experienced really sh*tty d/l--u/l speeds. Typically 0,5 to 25 kB/s regardless of the number of seeders.It wasn't always like this, my 'speed record' is 2.300 kB/s. My ISP is not on the list of ISPs that throttle/interfere with BitTorrent, port forwarding works fine, my firewall (PC-tools) allows µTorrent full access.This dramatic reduction of transfer speeds seems to have coincided with my migrating to Windows7 RC1, can that have anything to do with the problem?I would greatly appreciate any input on this!Thank you.

DreadWingKnight Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Did you try without installing the pc-tools internet security software (as components of it, such as threatfire, are known to interfere)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauiWowie Posted August 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 No, I didn't, but I sure will. I will report here on how it went. Thanks for the tip!*********************************************************************************************I ditched PC-tools as well as Threatfire and installed Comodo firewall some 30 mins ago, and just now when I checked the ETA for one d/l had gone down from a day and a half to 22 minutes. So it sure looks, at this point, like PC-tools was slowing down. Thx again DreadWingKnight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
