cosmillogica Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Hi,I have been using µTorrent for several years without any major problems.Recently I signed up for Be's Unlimited Package (24M/1.3M). I was told that my local exchange would only support 20Mbps, which is fine for me.Dslreports show a download speed of max. 3.5Mbps (although I have reached speeds of about 9Mbps downloading well-seeded torrents) and an upload speed of around 900kbps so quite close to the 1.3 stated by my provider.When I upload a torrent, the speed never exceeds 25kbps - in fact it varies a lot and often is far below that, in the 2-10k range. I have tried all the suggestions (having visited this forum on a number of occasions in the past) but without any success.- I applied the speed guide settings for 768k- encryption is enabled (although Be are said not to use traffic shaping)- when downloading popular torrents my connection maxes out at over 8Mbps but with no difference to the U/L speed- the network status light is green- I have forwarded the ports correctly (confirmed by port checker)- I have tried various uTP settings- peer.lazy_bitfield is enabled- Glasnost tells me that there is no indication that my ISP throttles traffic- according to the net.max_halfopen patch tool my tcpip.sys doesn't need patching because there is no limit (set in µTorrent to 80)- I have added an exception to the Windows Firewall- I don't use a 3rd party firewall or antivirus software, just occasionally scan with Malwarebytes- I have tried both µTorrent 1.8.3 & 1.8.5 and with DHT both enabled and disabledMy system specs are:- Gigabyte EG31MF-S2 motherboard- Pentium E5200- 2GB DDR2 RAM (800MHz)- Vista 64 Home Premium with SP2- Thomson TG585v7 wireless router (signal strength: good to excellent)My provider is Be Broadband.Please can someone help me with this issue, as it has persisted since I changed to Be several weeks ago and I have tried absolutely everything I could think of and have followed all the suggestions I could find (except for changing the DHCP settings because I couldn't find a configuration menu - could this be the reason?).Edit:Unbelievable - why did I never think of disabling NAT-PMP port mapping? Everything fine now, UL'ing with >800kbps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 I've heard of UPnP and/or NAT-PMP causing manually forwarded ports to become unmapped, but that's about the extent of their maliciousness as far as I knew.Live and learn!Good thing that's mentioned as a troubleshooting step in 1st link of my signature.
