Speed problem With Mac Version


TBBATS

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, I can't seem to find anything to fix my download speed.

I'm currently with Bell for internet.

When checking my internet speed through speedtest.net I get:

On WIFI I get 10 - 25 Mbps

25 Mbps constantly when hardwired in.

At first I only was getting anywhere from 0.5 - 100 kB/s (and that was with a torrent with a lot of seeder and leechers)

I messed around with the preferences, I unchecked the:

Seeding: Stop at up/down ratio: 1.50

And changed:

Outgoing encryption from Disable to Force

By doing only these things I've gone up to 500 kB/s - 1000 kB/s

I should be getting better download speeds my friends are telling me

Please someone help as I'm trying to get better download speeds to watch movies

I though randomizing the Incoming TCP Port would make it better but it slowed it down for a bit but then I just restarted the program which made it better, it's currently on Incoming TCP Port: 27707 with the Automatically map port (using NAT-PMP or UPnP) checked off.

Thanks for any help and I will reply back! Hopefully any suggestions are detailed, I know how to get into my D-Link router if I need to change stuff in there as long as it doesn't mess up my internet as my dad does a lot of mobile engineering work at home for his company so he logs into servers and stuff I believe.

Again thanks!

I don't know if this is relevant but I have become aware that certain ISPs place restrictions either across the board or during certain times of the day. Is it possible that your troubles may fall during those periods? Though I don't recall where I found it, I found a reference linking to a place that lists all ISPs, in y case, in Canada, of ifs, whens and how they restricted P2P exchange on torrent clients. I was surprised to see my ISP's strict limits, especially after I was assured by the tiers 2 Tech support that no such limitation existed. To my knowledge, at least in Canada, it is against CRTC regulations to not provide you with requested information.

I hope this may give you a "lead" as to where to start a search/investigation into your issue and as I stated, it may not be relevant but... who know?!
