stihia Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 1. are you talking about kbps OR kBps?2. did you made some speed tests?3. did you made the speed guide in µTorrent (Ctrl+G) accordingly with the average result obtained in the speed tests before?4. did you tried to download a test (very fast) torrent? (like this one: http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/ )?5. what firewall do you have?the question list is way bigger but, last but not least, please read the faq carefully.if you would done everything you was supposed to (as you sustain), you would'nt have any problems...

Ultima Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 Your connection speed isn't T3. Why would you select that? The Speed Guide specifically says to select your upload speed, if you actually read it carefully. And when you take the speed test, make sure you're not using your internet connection for anything besides testing.McAfee's firewall isn't that great... I do believe other people had problems with it. Try setting it up to allow µTorrent through the port. If that doesn't work, uninstall it and get another firewall.

stihia Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 Do 4-6 speedtests here: http://www.mondospeed.com/bandwidth_speed_test.php or here: http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest , with an 4-5 minutes interval between them and NO application opened that could use your bandwidth, then do an average for the UPLOAD values and select the appropriate value in the speed guide (the numerical values shown there are for the UPLOAD value and they are written in kbps!).As for the firewall, I'm using Zone Alarm (free version 6.1.737.000) and I obtain almost always the max. download/upload speeds that my connection is capable of.I'm pretty sure that you have other bad settings there too, so you better give us all the values obtained and the settings in Preferences (page by page).Maybe we can tweak them together, who knows?
