Recent speed drops?

[Warddo120]

Heya guys, Im just wondering if you could maybe help me with my recent speed drops. I have set up Utorrent right, the port is green and it is cleared in my firewalls. my old speed was 1 mb/s and up, but now its down to a crawling 108 kb/s i have run old torrents that used to be speedy downloads to test my speeds, and i have noticed that im not connecting to alot of seeds as i used to, at the moment i have connected to 13 out of 13k seeds, and i used to be connecting to hundreds and now not so much! i have not changed any settings, i just have changed ports if they are not connecting, and its been like a week since i have used utorrent so any help?

Thanks

I'm wondering if you are having the same issue as me. Are you SURE it's transferring at 108kb/s or does it just say that? I have verified that transfer speeds that show at 40kb/s are actually transferring at 400kb/s. Transfers are actually 10x what it's displaying, it's almost as if the decimal point is off by one. Your 108kb/s x 10 would be the 1mb/s that you were expecting. To tell, just watch how many MB are downloaded per second in the Downloaded column. If it's roughly increasing by 1 every second then it's indeed transferring at 1mb/s and you are having the same issue as me.

Perhaps a lot of the posts about slow speeds are actually the same problem... it's just not displaying the speeds properly.

Can a developer or someone verify what I'm talking about? it seems clear as a bell to me it's a decimal point issue, at least in my case.

I have this issue as well...

Last week I was downloading the latest Lost, which had like 4000 seeds or something ridiculous like that, and my speed was only registering at maybe 90 kb/s or so, maybe 100, but the episode finished in a few minutes, which it definitely wouldn't have if it was going that speed. I basically can't trust the ETA or the speed and just have to look at the progress bar... :\ Not really sure why I'm still using uTorrent tbh, after writing all this down... :|

I'm seeing problems too. I was using the newest 0.9.3 build, and decided to check out 0.9.2 again. I saw approximately twice as many seeds and peers in 0.9.2 (and as a result had must faster downloads)

You are all using this on a PPC right? I suggest you download the latest alpha 0.9.3.6 (19100). This should fix the issue.
