very low speed

[dvirinkoosh]

hi,

My download speed on Utorrent is very low(10 kb/s).

I did the "setup guide" many times and always the same results:

"results:speed test failed.

connection failed error: Timed Out.(10060)." (I have tried all the servers but none of them worked).

"Network:

results: Port is open. your network is properly configured."

few monthes age, Utorrent download speed was about 500kb/s-(same as direct download speed), and I don't know what's worng.

can anyone help me?

thanks.

Thanks Switeck,

now the bandwidth test dosent failed! but still, the download speed is about 10kb/s ( I tried few torrents with many seeds and peers).

Is there anything else I should do?

i tried the

2nd and 3rd links in my signature...also try rafi's uTorrent v2.0.X Migration Guide here:

but it didn't change much.

[Switeck]

What exactly did you try from the 3rd link?

I did all this:

Nothing much really. Hiding what the connections are doesn't hide how many connections you have!

To reduce how many connections you have at once, you have to turn off extra features and reduce values in uTorrent.

Before you begin using uTorrent, you may want to try using a PROXY server to connect to the torrent tracker/s! This is something to do before beginning. There's no point in sending all the peer/seed traffic through the proxy (what "use proxy server for peer-to-peer connections" means), as it SHOULD all be encrypted anyway. I'm not good with proxies at all, as I've only used them once or twice briefly more than a year ago. Torrent tracker communications typically only occurs once every 30 minutes or hour PER tracker on each torrent you have active or scraping. And the communications usually is only a few KBs -- almost certainly less than 10 KB total each time. The latest DPI (Deep Packet Inspection) equipment that ISPs use to monitor and data-mine customer activities online DOES detect tracker connect attempts and often registers that as "BitTorrent activity", blocking/disrupting/throttling ANY ips the tracker hands back as seed/peer ip sources.

Only a complete VPN connection of everything would likely give you more hiding/stealth than ALL this -- as it would be both completely encrypted AND only a single TCP connection.

Make sure you've got your internet connection disabled BEFORE running uTorrent again!

DISABLE: UPnP, NAT-PMP, LPD, DHT (both kinds!), and Resolve IPs (right-click in PEERS window of a torrent).

Keep Peer Exchange enabled...it reuses existing peer/seed connecitons but only works with public torrents.

Under Queueing, set max Active and downloading torrents to 2 each -- though generally you should limit it to only 1 torrent at a time.

Reduce global and per-torrent max connections to 10. Probably need at least 3-5 to work at all.

Set upload slots per torrent to 2.

Set total upload speed to no more than 6-10 KB/sec. If lower than 6 KB/sec, set upload slots per torrent to only 1 and only do 1 torrent at a time.

Set total download speed to no more than ~75% sustainable max download speed for your connection. Chances are, that's only about 50-100 KB/sec.

In Advanced,

Lower bt.connect_speed to only making 1 outgoing connection attempt per second. (It defaults to 20 per second!)

Lower net.max_halfopen to allowing only 1-4 unfinished outgoing connection attempts (half open connections) at the same time.

Set Encryption to FORCED and DISABLE incoming (not encrypted) legacy connections.

With your wireless line, quite likely you're firewalled by the ISP's wireless router...but if you have any unencrypted BitTorrent connections they're almost certain to spot them!

I am using port 4999,is that good?

i thinks i have missed something of your tutorial because now it the toolbar I have "!", and both bandwidth and port test in speed guide falied.

thank you for the help.

[Switeck]

Bandwidth and port tests are *EXPECTED* to fail through a proxy.

Also you should use ports above 10000 to avoid conflict with registered ports.

a week ago my dl speeds were about 170kbp/s. somehow after that it fell to .5 tops. after going through setup guide i've got it up to 5 or 6kbp/s but that's it. when i do speed test it says - data send error: a local networking problem closed the connection. (10053) I disabled NAT-PMP and UPnP like the earlier post said so the network test didn't go through. I don't know how it went from so good to so bad. I downloaded microsoft security essentials, is that the problem? could it's real time protection stuff be slowing it down that much? i've already added utorrent as an exception in it's settings. all help greatly appreciated.

I did that, but still my download speed is about 10.

here is some images of my Utorrent settings:

did I miss something?

[Switeck]

uTorrent's udp-using stuff won't work through a proxy. (udp trackers, uTP peers/seeds, DHT, and even Resolve IPs uses UDP.)

Change your settings to 128 kbit/sec upload settings from 2nd link in my signature. This should rule out you just getting too few connections. (10 is very low.)
