BarryManilow Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 As the subject states, I am downloading a large [content] file with 11.998 Availability, and at the moment, my "Down Speed" is 16.9kb/s, but if I click the red square (stop) and then a second later click the green arrow (start) the "Down Speed" goes all the way back up to about 330kb/s and remains up there for about 5 minutes before freefalling all the way down to 17kb/s again.This means that every 5 min I have to stop/start it so that I can get my download before 2012 comes to obliterate us all into dust!!!!!!!Does anyone here know why this occurs, and if so, what I could do to stop it occurring???many thanksBarry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Possibly ISP throttling (BT Central ADSL in UK does brutalize BitTorrent traffic), but try 1st and 2nd links in my signature to see if that helps any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryManilow Posted July 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 thanks for the reply, BT defo throttle my d/l speed from 6pm til 11pm, the max I can do during that time is about 40kb/s and outside of that its close to 800kb/s, so I dont know if thats the case, it certainly hasn't been the case until recently, also have tried the two links and no joy sadly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Can you rule out your router (assuming you have one) by removing it and doing direct computer-to-modem?Also, are you using wireless LAN?What uTorrent settings are you using?I see you gave time-of-day DL max, what about upload?

BarryManilow Posted July 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 1) not very easily to be honest, the cable from the router to the modem is as long as the one from the PC to the router. 2) I have wireless LAN on my laptop, but I rarely use that and my computer is hard wired to the router3) I dont know which settings you are looking for, I have max upload speed set @ 10kb/s, max download speed is unlimited.. have set the "max upload/download" slots to 9999. Not sure what specific settings you would like to see?4) the max upload at off-peak times is about 40kb/s but as stated, I always limit the ul to 10kb/s otherwise it slows my entire computer down too much if it is left as unlimited. It also interferes with my download. The d/l def optimizes @ 10kb/s upload speed. During the times that BT throttle my d/l, it never gets more than 4 or 5kb/s upload Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 ALL the settings shown by speed guide's pop-up window and any changed settings in advanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryManilow Posted July 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 the advanced settings will be whatever the default is, have never even looked in that tab beforeby "speed guides pop-up window" did you mean "setup guides pop up window?"If so, I have;Bandwith (ticked) UK,LondonYour Upload Speed: Current Settings 81.91kbits/sUpload Limit: 10kb/sConnections (per torrent) 9999Max active torrents 8Upload Slots: 9999Connections (global) 9999Max Active downloads; 5Network Current Port 11979Automatic Port Mapping is ticked/selected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Yeah, that's some broken settings...guaranteed to kill most any networking or your money back. *MANY* routers won't handle 100 connections cleanly. You've set uTorrent to exceed that by 2 magnitudes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryManilow Posted July 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 lol, i set them that high to give the best chance of getting a connection!!! me = retard apparentlywhat do you reccommend I do in order to reduce the magnitudinal error?? specifically, which settings should I alter? thanks a lot for your quickfire assistance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 You're not going to like my suggestion, but 2nd link in my signature you can match settings to upload speeds. 10 KiloBYTES/second upload speed won't go very far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
