Hi all

I have a download speed problem on torrent. I think i'm so close to find what exactly causes the problem but i need help :)

My network and devices are like this;

ZTE H168N VDSL2 Modem&Router (20mbit dsl connection comes to its Wan port)

DARK WT-N664R2 (using this device as "AP CLIENT", it takes wireless signal from my ZTE modem and transforms it to wired)(i use it near my tv, my tv only allows wired connection by lan)

Asus Laptop Win7 Norton360 Internet Security

Desktop Pc Win7 Norton360 Internet Security

Now let me give more details;

My internet speed is good at all of my devices regardless of if they're connected wireless or wired. I can download 2-2,2 mb/s from steam,apple etc.

When i connect my desktop pc to ZTE modem by cable---> internet speed is good, torrent is slow

When i connect my desktop pc to ZTE modem by wireless (using usb wireless adaptör)---> internet speed is good, torrent is good

When i connect my desktop pc to DARK Ap Client by cable---> internet speed is good, torrent is good

When i connect my laptop to ZTE modem by cable---> internet speed is good, torrent is slow

When i connect my laptop to ZTE modem by wireless--> internet speed is good, torrent is good

When i connect my laptop to DARK AP Client by cable---> internet speed is good, torrent is good

Conclusion; when i connect a computer to my ZTE modem&router by Ethernet, somehow i'm having speed issues on torrent even though my internet speed is OK. If i connect to same modem by wireless everything is fine!

PS: I'm using utorrent 3.3.2 on both of my computers.

PS2: When i have slow torrent speeds, i also have connection/speed problems on other p2p softwares such as SopCast.

PS3: The ZTE modem was given tome by my ISP with an IPTV device. I can see there are some port settings made up for it in my modem's interface. I turned off the iptv and tested all situations above, results were same.

PS4: I even tried different LAN cables :)

I looked at all speed issue guides in forums but couldn't achieve success of solving my problem. Sorry for grammer mistakes, English is not my native language. :) Since my modem is provided by my ISP and has special configurations for my IPTV in it, changing the modem is my last call. Any help would be appreciated and thanks for advance.

Turn off the router firewall.

And get rid of Norton. It IS a known problem causer.

Tried turning off router's firewall. Didn't work.

I connected a different laptop which has no antivirus software installed by Ethernet. Results are same, internet speed normal but torrent is slow.

Btw PS5: I tried torrents with good seeder numbers, also tried different trackers. No luck.

Means very little. Have you tested with known good payload torrents such as Linux Mint, Centos or Slackware Linux?

I believe you didn't read my first post completely. When i connect to my modem by wireless i can download the same torrents without having speed problems. [2-2,5 mb per second which is the maximum speed i can reach (my isp provides me 20mbit DL)] But when i connect to same modem by Ethernet cable i can only get 100-300 kb/s from same torrent even though my download speed is 2-2,5mb at Steam or Apple Store or any other web sites/servers.

I am not a torrent expert but it is very obvious that the problem is not about which torrent i'n trying to download.

Still, i tested torrents you posted. Download speed only slightly improved. (like 400-500 kb/s)

None of those are running on the BitTorrent protocol.

(like 400-500 kb/s)
BitTorrent clients report speeds in Bytes per second not bits per second

1- I didn't claim they're using p2p protocol.

2- I might have written kb instead of kB but what i meant was kiloBytes per sec.

3- I'm still having this problem i'd be glad if anyone can help.

My point is that you CANNOT compare them or draw any speed correlations between the two very different protocols.

2- I might have written kb instead of kB but what i meant was kiloBytes per sec.

So what is your concern then?

Given that 400 kBps ~= 3.2Mbps

I wrote all abbreviations wrong at my first message.

Let me explain,

I have 20 MBit download dsl connection.

When i connect any computer to my modem by Ethernet, im having speed issues on torrent (and other p2p softwares)

When i download files from non p2p servers (such as steam,itunes) my download speed is like 2000 kilobyte per second. But when i download files from p2p softwares (such as torrent) my download speed is only 300-400 kilobyte per second at best. (sometimes 3-5 kilobyte per second for hours, sometimes 100-200 etc.)

I'm comparing two different protocols because i'm trying to say im only having trouble on p2p softwares. (when i connect my pc to my modem by Ethernet, at wireless connection there's no problem on both protocols)

having trouble on p2p softwares.

P2P speeds depend pretty much entirely on the speeds that the connected peers will provide your client with pieces' date=' your connection speed means very little beyond it being the ultimate limiting factor.[/quote']

I'm giving up on telling you more what my problem is.

I explained very well on what circumstances i'm having problems on p2p softwares, if you read my previous messages you'll probably understand.
