mistuhw00 Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Hey guys. I'm new to the BitTorrent community, so I don't know much about torrenting. Hope you guys can help me out.I read the pinned topics regarding speed issues, but it's not helping me much because mainly I don't understand most of what's written in it. I have the yellow triangle of death on the bottom of my torrent window. I clicked on it and managed to manually forward to an open port. I ran the speed test and the port test, and it said that everything was configured properly. I also added the application as an exception to my firewall. Yet the triangle of death still remained. Any ideas as to why my torrent is slow?I have the 2Wire 2701HG-B and my usual download speed is around 300kb/s.EDIT: I just tried torrenting the openoffice test torrent and got around 280 kb/s. But the file i'm trying to get is now at 1.2 kb/s. >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samthing Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Did you try using using protocol encryption? Options -> Bittorrent -> Protocol encryption, set to enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistuhw00 Posted April 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Yes, I already have protocol encryption enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 What's your internet connection's max download and upload speeds?Did you limit uTorrent's upload max (and overall settings) to less than that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistuhw00 Posted April 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 I didn't manually configure the download/upload settings. they were configured for me when I ran the diagnostic speed test on the uTorrent program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
