Error message?

I am new to the Forum but have been using this torrent for some time and very pleased with it in general. :)

I understand that download speeds will vary for all sorts of reasons, even the time of day etc, and I have had trouble sometimes using my nearest point which is Sydney, Australia, it is not available sometimes and I have even restarted my computer sometimes and it comes good.

However I have had a different problem for several days now, and it is causing very slow downloads, when I run a test of my connection although it has Sydney as the option it comes up with a BIG RED CROSS when I do a test and says ''Connection failed error, timed out (10060)''. :(

Can anyone PLEASE advise how to rectify this, THANK YOU.

Again thank you, however I have been using this torrent system for some time now and never had this until a few days ago.

I do not like to just ignore things when I do not know why they are doing it, probably because I was an Engineer (retired now) all my working Life.

Is this something that was accidentally introduced in the last update???

It must mean something ???

That link does not work for me, says it is a different operating system to mine.

I wondered that, so I checked with them, they assured me the ONLY things they limit or block altogether are child pornography sites and even then only after consulting the Police.

See what happens with the next software update.

Okay, this driving me crazy. :(

Still the same today, still has the BIG RED CROSS and says connection failed.

My ISP says they are NOT interfering with it, everything else is working fine, download test suggests I should be able to download at 8.96 Mbps and upload at 1.04 Mbps, however I never ever get that, when it is working I often get downloads of over 1 Mbps but NOT since this connection failed message.

Does anyone PLEASE have any ideas about how to fix this or get around it????

I even deleted the software altogether and reinstalled it, but still the same. :(

Yes me again, have been trying to fix this all morning, still no good. :(

Read a lot of other posts and tried a few ideas from them, including enabling protocol encryption (made it worse), then I removed UTORRENT 3-0 altogether and installed 2-2-1, still no good so have gone back to the latest version.

Does anyone else have any ideas PLEASE ???

This problem with the speed test has only happened recently, that is why I am guessing it is a fault introduced accidentally to uTorrent.

At the same time as this download speeds are VERY slow and erratic, as reflected also on other topics.

NO I have not tried to download after midnight, never have before either, this is a fault of some kind with uTorrent that was NOT there before.

Just hoping someone at uTorrent can rectify this and the slow download speeds so we can all enjoy uTorrent again.

Apparently it is happening to many others judging by the posts here recently.

I did consider that as I mentioned before, my ISP assured me they do NOT, of course whether you believe them or nor not.

I have deleted and reinstalled uTorrent a few times hoping it would come good, the last time before I reinstalled it I installed ''the other major one'' and it ran many tests including IF my ISP was limiting me at all, and it was NOT, well not via them anyway unless they are ONLY limiting uTorrent.

Maybe if uTorrent is not fixed soon I will reluctantly try them for downloading my torrents.

Thank you for your inputs, I had a look at that link, and quite honestly I did not know where to start, I am not that computer savy. :(

Just removed uTorrent yet again and downloaded the other one (guessing I should NOT name it here) and it is working fine, as uTorrent used to until very recently.

Think I will stick with that one until there is a fix for uTorrent.

Granddaddavid, you wrote so many wrong things and I don't even want to start naming them. BitTorrent guys, looks to me like uTP throttling and what it does and I am experiencing the same thing if you read my post regarding Auto-disabling uTP.

Granddaddavid, if you want to continue using uTorrent, just disable uTP in uTorrent's Preferences/Bittorrent. This will give you the same functioning as the software you are using now.
