lycan246 Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 I've had this problem for 3 weeks I have tried everything I can think of to fix it...Problem is when Utorrent is running everything slows down streaming music/videos (Youtube, internet radio, etc) even most websites don't even load properly. My speedtest is usually about 5 Mbit/s, and utorrent is only getting 100 KB/s... When I have port forwarding setup on my router (DIR-825) Utorrent says connection issues and is the yellow icon instead of green. I have to change the ports that utorrent uses in order to get it green. Then I had a problem with utorrent where when I would shut it down normally it would not close (even after 10-20 mins) The connections it was D/L with would still stay open, I would have to end the process in order to close connections. Then any torrents I added with magnet links would disapper. I've since completely removed the version of Utorrent I was using and installed latest version. And that problem is gone. But the bandwidth issues still remain. I am on a old Bell grandfather plan and I know that they are throttling my connection. I ran glasnost test and it said:Is your download traffic rate limited?There is no indication that your ISP rate limits your downloads.Which is weird because when my Utorrent was working it would get 400-500 KB/s download, and with the a throttle fix I found I would get 700-800 KB/s down. Has anyone have any ideas?Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamieb79uk Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Did you manage to fix the problem? I am having the same issue. My new flatmate uses utorrent and whenever it is running I am left with incredibly slow internet. I can't stream BBC iplayer, youtube and other channels like I used to before. Even when utorrent is not downloading or uploading it ruins the connection on my laptop. It just has to be running in the task bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lycan246 Posted July 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 No. I got so angry with Utorrent that I switched to Usenet....I am a computer technician, And couldn't find out what the problem was....I stopped using Utorrent...But it kept launching....So I angrily deleted it...
