AlexQ Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Hi guys,Basically, if i connect my pc directly to the modem I am able to achieve speeds of up to 2-3mbs per torrent but the moment I plug my router in, my speed drops all the way down to 10kps. I am using DD-wrt firmware and manually portforwarded utorrent.Anybody facing similar issues but managed to resolve this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 What timeouts for TCP and UDP do you have set?Do you have the SPI firewall turned on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexQ Posted October 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Wow that was fast My SPI firewall is turned off and the TCP timeout is set at 3600 and UDP at 120Here is a picture to display the difference, both of them are tested afew minutes apart with and without a routerWithout router:With router:I noticed that the amount of seeders I get is also halved.

DreadWingKnight Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Try with TCP 360 and UDP 240 with a maximum ports of 4096. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexQ Posted October 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Try with TCP 360 and UDP 240 with a maximum ports of 4096.Tried it, don't think it does anything, speed still the same unable to go above 15kbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Which DD-WRT variant did you install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexQ Posted October 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Which DD-WRT variant did you install?Installed the DD-WRT v24-sp2 (08/07/10) mega, main reason i switched to dd-wrt firmware because my default one was having this problem but does not fix anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Mega actually installs a LOT of stuff that you don't need to run all the features on the router.You can probably get away with standard (which is what I'm running on my WRT54GL with no problems)I'm just trying to figure out what else is different between the two.

DreadWingKnight Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 The number of seeds present ultimately has no bearing on the speed of a torrent.I was referring to DD-WRT standard, not linksys official when I mentioned standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've searched the entire router settings page and most of it has no effect on P2P, my ports are opened when tested and my internet speed is fairly fast (80% of advertised speed), eager to get this resolved because all my torrents currently take agggess to complete with a router.

DreadWingKnight Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 It may, but I'd try dd-wrt standard with the above settings first.Double-check to make sure the SPI firewall function is set to disabled. DD-WRT has it enabled by default and it causes a LOT of problems with performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DD-WRT has it enabled by default and it causes a LOT of problems with performance.I've tested it, don't see a difference - I know my speed aren't really limited by the router because I just had one seeder who is constantly uploading the file to me at 800kbs but it's only from one guy and the rest are like 0.1kbs, it's very unstable because I have to be lucky to grab fast uploaders and they tend to disappear randomly.

Switeck Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Your ISP may be to blame, because it seems to throttle/disrupt international traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexQ Posted October 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Your ISP may be to blame, because it seems to throttle/disrupt international traffic.They do throttle but not to the extend where I won't exceed 10kbs, furthermore the problem disappears when I don't use a router so I believe it has something to do with the router.EDIT: Just got authorised to replace my router by Linksys, going to see whether it fixes the problem.
