thisisvb Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 hi I was getting wonderful speeds with utorrent with my bell dsl modem, until i switched to vonage for VoIP. (recently ran a speed test - -> download speed: 2.5 Mbps, upload: 550 kbps). Now, my download speeds are down to 3-4 Kbps in utorrent! I did forward port 32459 correctly, as when i run the test from utorrent, it says it works fine. I have absolutely no clue as to what is going on. what do i do after forwarding the port? what's the next step??please help!vbedit- PS: vonage gave me a motorola vt1005rb VoIP router.

schnurlos Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Did you make any windows updates in the meantime (patch TCPIP.SYS again)?Some software added/changed in the meantime?Did you use a newer beta of utorrent?Tried with your old modem again?Have other up/downspeeds then before (use Speed Guide again)Use a good seeded torrent for testing (open office, ubuntu).

thisisvb Posted June 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 no, i didn't make any windows updates/patch tcpip.sys. I did however try downloading an open office torrent from [http://borft.student.utwente.nl/~adrian/bt.php]. surprise, surprise - it took less than 6 mins to download the 92 MB file. the avg. speed was 284 KB/s. so, i think we can rule out that the motorola device was blocking any ports? although, i still think that it is..also, does a lot of 'hash check fails' mean there's a problem with the file?

Ultima Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 If you're getting hash fails on the OpenOffice.org torrent, then the router's screwing around with your packets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisisvb Posted June 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 hmm, i don't remember getting any hash fails with the openoffice torrent. however, i did some research and am guessing that i need to 'unlock' my motorola router. or maybe open the ports? should i be using a static IP? I hope some1 can point me in the right direction.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 If you got a lot of hashfails in some other torrent, then that torrent's probably poisoned or something. As for opening ports, I've no clue, as that router isn't listed at portforward.com. Otherwise, I would've linked you before =PYou might want to check the instructions for the VT1000 model though.

thisisvb Posted June 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 thanks ultima, i did check the instructions for vt100.Is that all i need to do? (forward my utorrent port: 32459) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 Yeah, and set up your firewall to allow that port as well if you're using a firewall. If the light doesn't turn green, report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisisvb Posted June 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 thanks! I'll try doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
