iTheBadGuy Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 This is getting really aggravating... I spent like 2 days learning how to forward a port for uTorrent in my router because i though this was the problem. I then removed my AVG pro and installed AVG free edition because it doesn't bring a firewall. I created the rule in windows firewall to accept uTorrents ports, TCP & UDP. I'm positive my settings in the Speed Guide are correct.xx/128kbps.Affected settingsUpload limit: 9.0kB/s Upload slots: 3Connections (per-torrent): 55 Connections (global): 80Max active torrents: 1 Max active downloads: 1Port is forwarded properly.My connection is of about 200kpbs. i tested it and down was 186kbps Up 135kbps... I know, its so pitiful :'(. But i should get more than 3kB/s in a torrent like Openoffice right?. So why can't i get speeds above 3kB/s?. Last night i downloaded a file of 98MBs @ 20kB/s+ lowest speed was 19kB/s. After that finished downloading i haven't been able to get any speeds above 10kB/s (after it gets to 10 it goes down to 1kB/s in about 3 seconds.)

Switeck Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Try what I recommended here: ("mild settings")http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=46778For an example of more extreme "stealth" settings in uTorrent: (long-winded explanation of ISP throttling)http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=58714NOTE: Those settings probably won't really work for you, they were a special case for a wireless ISP!...But I do a better job explaining what and why those settings are chosen.

iTheBadGuy Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 I've tried the settings you posted, didn't help .I really don't understand the second link, you say they might not work for me, so how much of a chance do i have of them working? I'm busy and don't want to waste a lot of time reading and editing settings if there not gonna work, or if a have a really low chance of them even doing anything to improve my speed.Basically... I need a new ISP because mines fails epically.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Yes, it's probably your ISP blocking you.It depends on how much you can find out about HOW your ISP is blocking you...as to what special settings (or a proxy/VPN) to get things working better.

iTheBadGuy Posted September 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Do you know of a way i can find out without calling them?. I'm in Dominican Republic, my spanish is horrible when it comes to talking about this sort of stuff. There's a lot of words in English that i can't find the translation in spanish and when talking to my ISP i like to be on the same page with the person on the other side.. Communication is the key to everything ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Don't ask the ISP, ask other people -- computer/electronics stores, online forums (GOOGLE search!), etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iTheBadGuy Posted September 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Well, i took this test, to see if my ISP is throttling, but it came back negative.. it said they're not.. strange.. The test i took seems reliable, because i told my brother to take it (he's in new york) and his ISP is throttling (he took it twice with same results, i took it twice, too.)So if my ISP is not throttling my speed in p2p.. Let me check my settings once more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 That test I'm convinced does NOT detect all kinds of crippling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
