Reduced D/L connection and no advice seems to work

[kostarica]

Hi all,

firstly, apologies for basically re-posting what has been discussed on here numerous times, however none of the advice provided seems to help.

So my problem is this: I used to download, effectively every day, at a speed of 200kb+, but now cannot exceed 10kb. I've tested my ports, but to be honest my connection was never a problem in the past and port forwarding was never conducted, so I fail to understand why I should do this now. I've also d/l from openoffice.org, and that worked perfectly at 65kb+, even with the yellow hazard triangle rather than a green light.

I am at a loss to understand what the hell is happening. Anyone able to shed light, this would be great.

My router is a NetComm NB6Plus4W, my connection with Adam.

It's worth noting I have d/l with utorrent for almost 3 years prior to this problem. I am still using my original version of 1.8.1.

Among other things, the current supported version is 1.8.5

And your preferences - queueing, preferences - bandwidth and results image from speedtest.net are needed to troubleshoot.

Apologies.

I am upgraded, same settings, same problem.

Queueing: Max active torrents - 140 (d/l - 120)

Ratio - <= 150%

Bandwidth: Max u/l - 25kb/s

Max d/l - 0kb/s

Global conn. - 500 (max conn. peers - 155, u/l slots p/torrent - 50)

Speedtest.net test - d/l 6.94mb/s (u/l 0.85mb/s, ping 10ms)

Your settings are horrid for your connection.

No higher than the 800kbit section

thanks, that has helped somewhat. sigh.

Is your modem configured? (Some are mini-router/firewalls!)

Has your computer changed LAN ips?

Does your ISP disrupt/throttle BitTorrent traffic? (try GOOGLE searches on the subject...)
