fael097 Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 thats right, when utorrent is opened, my download speed, no matter if from websites or torrent, gets cut in half. even if i test on speedtest.net, without any torrents running, just the program opened, it shows half speed (like exactly half). also, i never manage to download torrents faster than half my speed. whats the problem?thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lithopsian Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 As a wild guess, your ISP is throttling your connection when it detects P2P activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Be thankful if it's only reduced to half...assuming that's caused by throttling.Networking issues can crop up even if only DHT is active in uTorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fael097 Posted December 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 unfortunately, i detected that my problem is not utorrent, nor my isp.i have another computer, an old p4 with win7 installed, and it downloads @ 1,5mbps (my full speed) when i get around 700-800kbps on my computer. similar thing happened when i bought and first tested my current computer, different ISP, slow download speed, while on another old p4, download was @ full speed. i managed to bypass that by disabling / enabling my network adapter a few times, but this time, with this new ISP, i cant find a workaround.i tried wireless dongles, wireless network adapters, disabling my mobo network adapter, but nothing worked.when i first tested my pc and detected this problem, i assumed it was a issue with the onboard network card, but as testing other cards, with the onboard disabled, plus all the other tests i did, i can only assume its a problem with the way my mobo handles internet speed coming from any network adapter?! what you guys think?or maybe a bad windows installation, but i can hardly see it as the problem. will try installing it again before i decide to buy a new mobo though.please tell me what you think.thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fael097 Posted December 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKraak Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Not a clue. The other PC is still connected somewhere and is still running while downloading on this pc? Might be taking half the speed. Wild guess; Your new ISP has another policy than your old one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 I didn't catch what your UPLOAD in uTorrent is doing...is it also cut in half? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fael097 Posted December 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 idk, i guess upload speed is normal, its like 15 times slower than my download so i dont even bother checking, as i get 120kbps max upload Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
