CallingAmaya Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 About a week ago i noticed that, all of a sudden, my speed was maxing out at about 15-20% of what i can normally achieve whilst the program was struggling to connect to both trackers and seeds/peers.I ran the setup guide, checked my internet speed and fiddled with some setting (most notably disabling the uTp options) and whilst the connection issues disappeared, my speed only increased to about 25% of my usual max and i whilst i could connect to trackers now, it would only allow to me access a few seeds/peers on a few torrent files, leaving the others with no connection to seeds/peers.Fast forward a few days and after much reading on these boards and others, i tweaked a few of the advanced settings (bt.transp_disposition and bt.tcp_rate_control) and instantly i was back to normal, getting my proper maxed speeds for both uploads and downloads, connecting fine and generally working perfectly.The next day i open uTorrent and suddenly the apparent throttling is back, with my speed maxing out at the same old 25% and only letting me access but a few seeds/peers.It's since actually now maxing out at my usual shaped speeds, which is even weirder.My port forwarding is fine, i'm not being blocked my a firewall, i've tested my connection speed, which is fine, i know i'm not shaped and no one else with my ISP seems to be having a problem so i'm guessing it's not a sudden ISP throttling issue.I've used uTorrent for years (and this particular build, 2.2, since it's release) without problems so i'm about as frustrated as one can get so any help would be much appreciated.EDIT: Upon further reading, it appears my issue is somewhat similar to this guy's:http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=91512What that means, i do not know.

kaihansen2001 Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Something similar happened to me also just recently. I went on holidays for a week and before everything was running smoothly but then I came back and the download speed was a mess, it starts well but then after a few seconds it goes to zero and then it does like rollercoaster in time 0-100kb/s-0-100.Ports are correct, glastnost says I'm not throttled and rest of options were ok also (as I said, before I could max out my bandwith). Not a problem with torrents.What I did? Change the option bt.tcp_rate_control to false. That seemed to solve the problem.But the problem to me is to understand what might have changed to have to change this option to work properly. This I can not understand.
