Speed Problem


AvalonX

Recommended Posts

Hey I'm new here.. You've probably *never* heard this one before.. but I'm having speed problems. :D

I'm with BT Broadband, recently switched from Tiscali. I have a router model; BTHomeHub2.0 Type A with a speed of 54.0Mbps. I use the new UTorrent 1.8.5 and hve always had speed problems.. One time I remember managing to get my speed into the 60s 70s kB/s but at this very moment its highest i've seen is 32 kB/s.

I've gone through countless guides trying to make it faster but no luck.. I'm on Windows XP Home edition SP3.

Help would be greatly appreciated.. Any information you need for me to provide so you can help, just say and I will. :)

Thanks

You're probably on ADSL and have only about 1/10th as much upload as you told uTorrent to use.

2nd link in my signature.

"NET.MAX_HALFOPEN = *50"

Reset that back to 8. uTorrent is much faster unfirewalled than having that set higher.

"BT.TRANSP_DISPOSITION = *255"

Once again, the default setting is best.

BT Central ADSL ISP in the UK throttles heavily:

I'm sorry.. I'm a bit dippy when it comes to these things.. I changed all the settings to default (Litterally the whole thing..)

I will do a speed test (shut down everything using internet) then post the results here.. (I'll do three times and get the mean just incase)

I tried using your chart but it didnt do much for me..

EDIT: TEST RESULTS

899 kb Down

544 kb Up

959 kb Down

662 kb Up

889 kb Down

633 kb Up

The mean for Download: 915.666 (recurring) kb/s (114.45875 kB/s)

Mean for Upload: 613 kb/s (76.625 kB/s)

Use 512 or 640 kbit/sec upload settings from 2nd link in my signature.

Disable Resolve IPs (right-click in PEERS window of a torrent for menu to do that).

Reduce bt.connect_speed from 20 outgoing peer/seed connection attempts per second down to 4.

(You won't notice a difference, but your ISP is possibly more likely to throttle if you're attempting more connections at a time. And making slightly fewer per second will mean more speed for actually downloading/uploading.)
