I have a Gigabit Connection but slow torrent Speeds....!?!

[KARLOZ25]

This is connection during Peak hours:


During the night I reach about 98mbps... On speedtest (not Utorrent)

I have a WRN3500 Gigabit Router and a Gigabit PC-e Card.

The problem is my uTorrent speeds suck!

I get about 2mbps DL on a good day, and about 1mbps upload.

I have seen screenshots of peoples Utorrent downloading at 40mbps!

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

For starters, you could check if you're using the right max connections/upload speed settings, but this:

Is that with uTorrent? If so, your ISP may be engaging on traffic shaping during the day.

So... how?

OK then. Newer uTorrent versions can do an speed test directly from the program and adjust your settings accordingly. Go to Preferences -> Speed Guide, and do that. Then check if your speeds improve.

And still no improvement...

Hah, "Test by:anon".

Don't forget download speeds also depend on others's upload pipes - unless you're connected to seedboxes, torrents with a low amount of seeders will take longer to complete than well-seeded ones.

But I have NEVER had anything above 2mbps...!

Even on Popular torrents like LOST with over 1000 seeds on a IPT, still 2mbps.

I just don't understand. There has to be something, a setting or something I am missing...?

Seems like something is funneling my utorrent

Check this out before we go any further:

It's a P2P shaping test. It will tell you if your ISP is slowing down BitTorrent speeds in purpose.

Should I run it with Utorrent ON or OFF ?

You should close uTorrent and everything else using your Internet connection.
