Big Sexy Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Firstly, I'm new here but have always been using U Torrent, cause' its been awesome. Anyhow, lately, I'm trying to find the best settings to get the best speed performance for my U Torrent and I keep failing to get it.I'm using a 4MB connection from Streamyx (Malaysia) which is known to throttle speed at times, as far as I know but for direct downloads (via website or download manager, the speed seems awesome - getting up to 400-500kb/s download speed) but for my U Torrent, i NEVER get that. Its always maxed out around 100kb/s.So I could really use some help with the settings. I've already checked thru all the forums suggested topics but cant seem to get it to work well. Connection : 4MB BroadbandWindows XP SP31 GB Ram120 GB HDDBelow are some useful screenshots.http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/3537/utorrent1a.jpghttp://img814.imageshack.us/f/utorrent2.jpg/http://img405.imageshack.us/f/utorrent3.jpg/http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/8009/utorrent4.jpghttp://img835.imageshack.us/img835/7529/utorrent5.jpghttp://img641.imageshack.us/img641/210/utorrent6.jpghttp://img541.imageshack.us/img541/779/utorrent7.jpghttp://img137.imageshack.us/img137/6438/utorrent8.jpghttp://img4.imageshack.us/img4/7150/utorrent9.jpgYep, thats bout it. I would be grateful if someone could help me out with this speed issue, cuz its annoying knowing that for 4MB speed, that i still take so much time to download a movie file. Help me, thanks.

schnurlos Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 So why do you not forward your port to get a green icon? http://www.utorrent.com/documentation/connection-setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Sexy Posted October 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 So why do you not forward your port to get a green icon? http://www.utorrent.com/documentation/connection-setupHmm. As far as i know, i often get a green icon but still slow speed. Anyhow. I took the time to portforward, according to portforward.com, but still when i check with their tool - the portforward checker it still shows, port not open! I still can see the added port setting in my router settings.What now?3rd link in my signature for ways to combat disruption and throttling.And yes, i checked it and did accordingly already but still same speed.

mcaspi Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Disable uTP in Bitorrent setting for,let's say, 24 hours, and then tell what you got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcaspi Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Also your Bandwidth settings don't look that good. Run the Setup Guide, choose 384 mb/s from the drop-down menu, save it and see what you get. What upload speed are you suppose to get from your ISP?.

Switeck Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Either 384 kbit/sec or 448 kbit/sec upload settings from 2nd link in my signature.Your ISP probably doesn't over-provision upload, so ADSL overheads probably consume >10% of what you supposedly get...even assuming you get 100%.
