ok guys i just installed Utorrent and in preferences i unchecked the UpNp port mapping thats all i did and started dowloading and i am getting 1KB/s download in utorrent, is there any other setting i should know about.
note i this is my first time i have ever used a any torrent .
Well how many seeds are you getting… I assume that you are using a public tracker… when you dowload a torrent file…always see the seeder/leecher ratio… more seeders generally means faster download speeds…
It’s most likely not the seeder/leecher ratio but ur firewall.
If u have a firewall, check whether utorrent is added in the exception list and allowed all incoming and outgoing traffic.
On allowing all traffic, there’s a status icon on the lower section of utorrent which should change to green which means proper flow of traffic. Currently, it should be yellow now.
Just add the utorrent.exe to the exceptions and utorrent will work fine.
All the above mentioned are applicable to Norton Internet Security Suites.
If using Kaspersky, u have to add the port utorrent is using to the exceptions rule of the firewall.
See if it helps. Let me know in case u need more info.
Also check your HTTP download speed. If you are getting crappy speeds on HTTP downloads as well , it most probably means that there is some problem with your broadband connection.
well i am using the torrent at pirate bay,no good. i did the portfowarding .well i dont have any security suites other then windows firewall which has excluded uttorrent,also i am using norton anti virus but i dont think it has anything to do.
Hmm … Try turning your firewall off , also try using another bit torrent client like azureus. If it still doesn’t work , try downloading some different torrent.
well guys after messing around with the settings ,port number i saw a maximum speed of 32Kb/s now getting average of 20KB/s to 25KB/s.which i guess is ahuge improvement neverthless BSNL sucks.
thanks for all ur help guys realy appreciate them.
even i was on BSNL 500 plan wit 2mbps speed bt due to ma 6k bill for 2months dad changed to 256kpps and i get max 23-27kbps seems proper as for 256kBps/8=32kbps:S
