wonderland Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 I just got 8mbit broadband installed today (BThomehub2) and utorrent was fine for the first half of the day, then suddenly the download speeds have plummeted to around 0.5 - 2kb/s.I've been reading setup guides for the last hour or so and nothing has changed.Setup Guide tests say everything is fine and I get two my green ticks.Even when i've not had ports open the speed has been reasonable. This is clearly lol bad.portforward.com site doesn't have my exact router admin so I can't follow their guide to the letter.help I have one torrent that has 30,000 seeds and i'm connected to 29 and getting 1kb/s average!

Switeck Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Your ISP may be heavily throttling/disrupting BitTorrent traffic during peak evening hours...or even at random other times in the day when congestion is bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonderland Posted September 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Maybe that was it. It went back to normal eventually. That said, other internet use was fast.I also wonder if my wireless card might have anything to do with it. I have reason to believe it's on its way out.

Switeck Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Wireless cards on average don't hold up as well as wired LAN cards/routers/internet access under the strain of uTorrent's many networking requests/connections.You can try reduced settings with them -- making fewer outgoing connection attempts per second, allowing a lower global max connections, or disabling uTorrent features (UPnP, NAT-PMP, Resolve IPs, DHT, LPD, uTP.)
