ThisIsMyLastAccount Posted October 30, 2011 Report Posted October 30, 2011 Running 3.0Windows 7Windows FirewallWirelessly through a Netgear DGN1000.Orange is ISP, not on bad provider list that I could see.Running the network test confirms that network settings are ok and port is forwarded correctly. However, the speed test won't work. I have had numerous errors, but they change so I tried an external test and got 4 down (mega bits, .7 up).Using the conservative settings guide, I selected the 640 upload, but even when I save and close it's defaulting to the option below it?!?Right, now I believe that's most of the tech spec you guys require. My connection vacillates between good - 1.3mb down on very healthy torrents, to terrible. Currently downloading slackware at approximately 25 -35 kbs per second. I've tried the tweaks found here: - http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=15992#p258231With the exception of "Try disabling IP resolving in the Peers tab's context menu" because I couldn't find the setting. Anyone got any thoughts? If I've missed some steps I should have completed before posting, please let me know. I tried to be thorough before asking for help.
DreadWingKnight Posted October 30, 2011 Report Posted October 30, 2011 Slackware torrents misbehaving like that (they completely max my 15mbit down connection) tells me there's something in your setup that's still wrong.If the SPI firewall is enabled in the router, DISABLE IT.Settings in your client need to be rounded down ideally. The ctrl+g list should NOT be looked at when using manual settings such as the conservative speed chart.
ThisIsMyLastAccount Posted October 30, 2011 Author Report Posted October 30, 2011 Thanks for this, I can't see a setting for SPI firewall. The only firewall tab in my router setup has the port forwarding settings (which are correct). Looking over the logs in my firewall, it's denying loads of UDP packets, saying they are DOS attacks (via the port I've assigned for torrenting and to my laptop,as well as an external IP). Why would it randomly start doing this?!?!. The ctrl+g list should NOT be looked at when using manual settings such as the conservative speed chart.Right, I had misconfigured this and entirely misunderstood it. I've now got more appropriate settings, but have had no joy. I assume now, that this is outside the scope of this forum (due to my likely network issues)?Thanks again!EDIT: Since posting that they hadn't improved, slackware has gone up to around 120k/b, we aren't running yet, but we are no longer crawling!

ThisIsMyLastAccount Posted October 30, 2011 Author Report Posted October 30, 2011 Thanks, I'm not going to be able to do that though, without turning of NAT. I truly have the worst router in the world. The options are NAT ON or NAT OFF or NAT OFF,FIREWALL OFF. Oh well, I'll consider an upgrade and get in the netgear forums.
ThisIsMyLastAccount Posted October 30, 2011 Author Report Posted October 30, 2011 This connection is trolling me. I cleared the logs and refreshed to confirm it was happening. Nothing occured. Then I check back in utorrent and I'm getting nearly a meg down. WTF.
