got upload but download speed is null?

[lightfoot500]

i am not sure why this happened. i was downloading a large file, 4 gig, on dsl getting anywhere from 10 kbs to 100 kbs. but last night, the down speed went to null. no value in that column at all.

i have about 76% download complete. dont want to start over again.

i shut down the computer and rebooted, but that didnt help.

i have the upload speed set at < 25kbs.

what's up with no down speed at all ?

thanks ahead for any help

well, isnt a moderator around that can give an answer?

it has started downloading again and then stopped again a few times.

why is this, anybody know?

Well this problem is sometimes common. I had this once and the simple answer was.: The internet Performance.

Thanks for the post. i am working my way thru the connection setup, step 1, configuring connection, went to utorrent connection test, the Bandwidth checked out ok with a green check mark, BUT, the network check came back with a yellow check mark and asterisk. Results were Port is not open( you are still able to download)?? (so i dont know if this matters since i am still able to download?) i have current port set as 23450 and checked is the box for Automatic Port Mapping. i paused Kaspersky AV to see it that would open up the port and i have connections checked such that it will configure windows firewall to allow passage.

i do think that it could be a port problem. occasionally, it will start to download but at a very slow rate, 1 kbs, and then quit after a minute or two.

I tried a broadband card i have to see if a different isp would make a difference. and it didnt.

any thoughts thus far on this condition?
