eeple Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Hello,I have been reading the boards for two days now and as I am not tech minded 99% of the solutions offered to slow speeds go over my head.Here is my problem:Everything seems to working correctly, ie green light goes on from amber after a short time.I have not altered any of the recomended stettings.Torrent IS downloading and uploading but awfully slowly. I downloaded a 307MB torrent which took around 44 hours spread over 5 days.The typical speeds I am getting are between 0.5kB/s - 4kB/s down and 1.2kB/s - 9.5kB/s upI have a 1MB cable modem connection which happily gives me 85kB/s - 135kB/s downloading stuff from places like tucows etc.I have tried various different torrents and speeds are pretty much constant.This error message is under the "logger" tab on the control panel:[20:58:48] Unable to map UPnP port to 213.107.76.68:32459Does this mean that the "autoforwarding" has not worked and that I must somehow forward a port myself? If so I fear this is probably beyond my abilities.Some other info which may help: I have tried with and without Zone alarm running, no difference.I have tried with and without my Anti Virus running, no difference.I am using Win XP on a 3 GHz AMD based system with 1 GB RAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yenkaz Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Don't worry about the upnp, the green light indicates that the port you're using is open anyway.Have you used the speed guide?Also, zone alaerm can be disruptive, even when turned off, try uninstalling itHow many Seeders/leechers are there in the swarm?

Firon Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Looks like the tracker is down.Also, disabling firewalls won't work, only uninstalling, fyi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
