xcellence Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 I used to have my utorrent set up on my laptop for around 2 years and all was fine, I would average a download speed of 350kb. But recently I had to wipe my computer of everything due to a virus which meant reinstalling utorrent. Sinse I have done this I have experienced speed problems which I have tried to resolve to no avail. I would much appreciate some help on dealing with the problem.Now my speed peaks at around 80kb and will then drop to around 5kb. i have it set at a 2MBit connection and have not altered any other preferences. I have used the guide on the official site but still nothing. There is not a problem with connecting as right now I am trying to download a torrent with 2415 seeds, I am connected to 124 of them and am achieving a download speed of 40kb. When I run speed tests I get around the 3MB range.Please help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 uTorrent's speed guide and settings are based on your upload speed, not your download speed. Please re-do your settings accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcellence Posted October 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 it says connection type which is all i set. It doesn't ask me to set the download speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 The connection type is based on your connection's upload speed, not your download speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any other settings i should change from instalation?*6 hours later*I have come to the conclusion that it is completely fucked. Nothing I do works, it is stuck at 4kb/s download speeds and it is doing my head in. Spent all day trying to sort it out to no avail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
