williamcherry Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Hello all.Today (Jan 25, 2012) I updated to the most recent version of uTorrent. Yesterday I was downloading at a speed of 500kbs, and right now it is listed at 8.9kbs, fluctuating even lower. I did absolutely nothing other than install the newest version. I'm running Windows Vista. I tried to follow instructions on this website but they did not help my cause: http://bootstrike.com/Articles/BitTorrentGuide/Any info would be extremely appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Note what happened to the link for the bittorrent guide you used.http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=15992 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamcherry Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Thanks for the quick response.I went through the initial "100% Setup Guide", and the step for Checking DHCP on the router is where I hit a snag. I cannot access my router as per normal, I'm redirected to a similar router website by my ISP. After a few moments trying to do what the guide told me, I COMPLETELY lost all internet connection, and have just spent the past 15 minutes trying to get online again. Any other suggestions?As I said before, all I did was update the uTorrent software, nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 If all you did was update, re-do the internet security software rules on your computer for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamcherry Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Do you mean make sure my anti-virus/malware program is not blocking it? I've investigated that, and it should not interfere, but just to be sure I temporarily disabled it and the torrent is downloading at 0.2kB/s.

DreadWingKnight Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 What internet security software do you have installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamcherry Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Believe it or not, when I just re-enabled the anti-virus shield, the torrent temporarily spiked to a download speed of 570.1kB/s, and remained there for about thirty seconds before plummeting back to its current 1.2kB/s.

williamcherry Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I'm running the most up-to-date version of Avast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Then remove and re-add any exceptions for uTorrent you have in avast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamcherry Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I don't recall ever having to make steadfast exceptions before, but after checking all the ways that I could, there appears to be no interference and the torrent is now running at 8kB/s. I'm honestly flabbergasted here. Should I try uninstalling and reinstalling Avast, then uninstalling and reinstalling uTorrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Might work, but considering what you did to your settings with the original guide, if you do that, remember to remove uTorrent's settings as well when you uninstall it.

williamcherry Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Well, after the unistalls and reinstalls the problem persists. I started the torrent, it picked up to a speed of 570.4kB/s, and remained there for 21 seconds before drastically falling down to where it is now, at 10.3kB/s.Thanks for your patience and support, but I really have no other idea what to do.
