I'm really stuck over here, I looked online for some settings but they didn't work so I re-installed uTorrent and now my speeds are 30.2 kB/s. Can you recommend me the right settings, instruct me on how to fix my port, any tips etc..Thanks for having a look and I apologize if I seem stupid, I'm new to forums and stuff . All your replies will be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Was the modem listed at portforward.com?Have you checked online (GOOGLE searches!) for your ISP turning hostile to BitTorrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNewGuy Posted September 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 yes the modem was listen and yes I did look online. I thought of posting my issue on the forums to get some help... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 If it's a hostile ISP disrupting the lines...there's only so much we can suggest/do, and it helps for us to know that for giving suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNewGuy Posted September 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Thanks for your post, I just saw the status bar turning green for about 10 minutes.So your saying there's nothing I can do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 No, I mean how much "we" (as in uTorrent posters) can do to help...without that key information. I didn't even catch what ISP/country you're on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNewGuy Posted September 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Oh sorry, I had to Google what ISP was haha. Its TalkTalk and I'm from the U.K. I found a Azureus Wiki page that shows my ISP is hostile to uTorrent. So I guess I'm still stuck =/Btw current download speed is still roughly the same. However the status bar shows a green sign, I think this has been going on for about some hours now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 TalkTalk probably gets their internet via Carphone Warehouse Broadband Services...which is notoriously bad for BitTorrent:http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=46778 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
