Re: uTorrent extremely slow
did you try turning on encryption?
in uTorrent: Options > Preferences > BitTorrent > Protocol Encryption
instead of "disabled" set it to "enabled" or "forced"
Re: uTorrent extremely slow
and disable dht if u havent done it yet
Re: uTorrent extremely slow
I'll give you my settings. They should work just fine.
Port over 20.000
Global maximum number of connections: 1000
Maximum number of peers/torrent: 200
Number of upload slots per torrent: 100
Use aditional upload slots if upload speed <90%
Queueing: max number of active : 200 ; maximum active downloads: 1 ( your choice here )
Disk cache: override - 64 mb ( you can use 100 if you have 10 mbit+ )
Reduce memory usage when cache not needed
Other options in Disk Cache checked except write out untouched blocks every 2 minutes ( throttling the HDD imo ).
Advanced ( just listing changed options)
- net.max_halfopen : 43
- bt.prio_first_last_piece - True
- Diskio.sparse_files - True
Encryption enabled, DHT & Peer Exchange off.
Have fun & Maxed out speeds for you dcat2

- Diskio.sparse_files - True
hey what does that mean?
what is changed when you do this?
Re: uTorrent extremely slow
Dunno, just got 'em of the internets.
Check FAQ on www.utorrent.com, all the settings are explained over there.
That's IF you have time to waste.
Re: uTorrent extremely slow
Make sure that both:
(1) UTORRENT
and the
(2) PORT
that it is set up are added to your FIREWALL's Exception List.
And if you're using WiFi, make sure to configure and ENABLE your router's UPnP.

if utorrent is added, you don't need to add the port seperately. At least w/ xp sp2 and vista.
Re: uTorrent extremely slow
Yeah, open the port on your router too.
Re: uTorrent extremely slow
Don't open the port and use UPnP. Choose one, and IMO opening the port is much better.

looks like he doesn't really care about his problem anymore
.. or it must be solved
Re: uTorrent extremely slow
turning off DHT was a good idea. Now I have at least a steady DL. Although the rate is still between 10 and 20 kB/s.
Already did everything else that has been suggested.
Thanks so far. Any other idea on how to increase speed?

Re: uTorrent extremely slow
you have to set up your utorrent sped limit manually, because it's automatically takes all the seed required...that is how it is set up...got to utorrent.com to see more info
