kydon1328 Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Hey everyone, I am new to uTorrent and have a few questions.I know my broadband connection allows for about 3mbps in download speed. I am currently downloading a file in uTorrent that has 18 seeds and only 2 leechers so as far as I know that is good. The problem is my download speed is averaging at 9.8kbps!!!!!!!!!!!It says this file is going to take over 6 days to complete!There has to be something going on as almost everything I've tried to torrent has this problem. I know my ports are good and I followed some of the tips on http://www.johntp.com/2006/04/19/how-to-increase-download-speeds-of-utorrent/According to my ISP (Bell Canada), I am close to the server meaning my download speed should stay right around the 3mbps mark.Is there anything I am missing, something I didn't "click" that will speed up my torrents.Thanks in advanceColeAlso my upload speed at the bottom is something like 0.3kbps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Bell Canada disrupts/throttles BitTorrent traffic.But...your results are even worse than what they normally do. 1st and 2nd links in my signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Because bell extensively does time of day throttling.This is not new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
