Dial-up needs help, real slow . . .

Hi, I have dial-up, not because I'm cheap, because there is nothing else available in my area (up north),

It's been a while that I messed around utorrent settings and googled tons of data to speed up utorrent, I had it working great but I had to reformat my pc (win 7 Ultimate 64 bits) and not my utorrent is slow as hell . . .

1.3 to 1.5 kb/s, used to be between 3.6 to 4.3 kb/s I know it's slow but it's all I got.

I tried bunch of settings, googled tons more and cannot get it better like it was . . .

I tried many different versions and Am now at ( µTorrent 3.0 Beta 64 bits (build 25329) )

Still nothing, even though I really like the new GUI it's still slow

Please help !

Mike.

Yes I have, and a few others too . . .

Just tried uninstalling utorrent as last time I upgraded, cleaned all traces in Reg and AppData and Program Files and X86, rebooted, fresh install, did the settings as best as I can figure them out using the info provided in the posts and I can barely exceed 1 kb/s yikes . . .

In fact, it's hard to use a p2p application with very slow internet connection, especially now with overseeded torrents and seedboxes.

Try a torrent from LO http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/3.4.0/win/x86/LibO_3.4.0_Win_x86_install_multi.exe.torrent , what's the max DL speed you reach? (stop all the other active torrent jobs).

And post screenshots of Preferences > Bandwidth & Queueing to http://imageshack.us/

ok, I downloaded a little part of the torrent you mentionned, max I got was 1.1 kB/s . . .

would of taken over a week to download the 189 mb file.

so I stopped it. Sorry for the late reply.

here are the screen shots you requested.

As I said, I use Win7 Ultimate (registered) 64bits, µTorrent 3.0 Beta 64 bits (build 25329), allowed in windows firewall and avast and comodo . . .

Don't know what else to do. It's not because of my setup because there was no hardware or software change beside a reformat. I did have this problem before but I had found somewhere on the net a post that showed how to make changes in the advanced settings and it worked, was downloading between 3.6 to 4.5 kB/s I know it's slow for your standards but for me, it's one day instead of 3 days worth of download for a a file.

Dude you rock . . . 4.3 kB/s

wow, so simple I guess when you look too deep, you don't see what is on the surface . . .

Are you far from me ? I owe you a cold one (or a few for that matter) . . . I'm in Quebec (Canada) just on the border to Vermont . . .
