badwolf69 Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Something weird is happening. I have µTorrent for a month or so & download a few things & upload them back but then my download speed completely drops off to a trickle & some torrents which are normally uber-fast don't start downloading at all despite many seeders & upload speeds seem unaffected.I've tried using Switeck's conservative settings, & the other tweaks mentioned by Ultima but seems to have no effect. Sometimes at this stage I will have a red tick & I restart µTorrent & get an orange or green tick but no matter which colour tick I get the problem remains the same.I've done the Glasnost Test to see if my ISP is manipulating BitTorrent traffic & it came back fine. Also my ISP isn't on the blacklist for that anyway.I've also tried giving µTorrent full permissions with my Firewall rather than my usual rule & also turning off Peerguardian & have tried with nothing else running at the time - all had no effect.The only thing which does work is to completely uninstall µTorrent & all it's settings/torrents & reinstall as completely new. Then it works like a dream again until there's lots of torrents being seeded it seems. But I've tried the upload speed at all different speeds from unlimited, 100mb-25mb & it makes no difference.I'm using Windows XP, 24Meg line Dynamic IP with Be internet, PG2 & Comodo firewall.

Switeck Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 You probably have LESS than 1 megabit/sec line as far as my speed guide (2nd link in my signature) is concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 ADSL 2+ generally maxes out before 1 mbit/sec up. I think theoretically it's "good" up to 1.4-1.5 mbit/sec, but unless it's a special kind of ADSL it won't get past that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badwolf69 Posted October 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 well anyway. the problem is the download speed keeps slowing down to less than 50kB/s when it was upto 800 kB/s the day before. The problem has now re-occured after I did a clean install when I joined the forum on 30/09/09. As I mentioned previously the only thing that seems to fix it is a fresh install which removes all my previous torrents & therefore all torrents that were uploading are gone when I re-install but this fixes it. I've tried the other solutions & nothing seems to work.Ok this time after fresh reinstall it imediately starts downloading at a good speed - 200kB/s + but within seconds goes back down to 5kB/s - any idea what's going on?

Switeck Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Sounds bad...but I'm not in a guessing mood for HOW bad. 1st link in my signature...you'll probably have to go through a lot of that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
