Missy Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I have a really good Internet connection, but my uTorrent download speed (currently teetering between 10 and 32 kB/s) sucks! Despite the slow downloads, I'm uploading massive amounts of data. What can I do to increase my download speed? I've read several tutorials (about port forwarding), but they hurt my brain!

JackFetch Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I use Azureus so i don't know what you can do. Sometimes it's just a slow tracker. If everything is that slow then it could be your isp throttling your traffic. Go here to see a list of isps that mess with P2P speeds.

Missy Posted March 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 According to that list my ISP doesn't prevent torrents. As a test, I bypassed the router and my download speed jumped to 95 kB/s. The current average seems to be around 70. That's not as fast as it was on my old computer, but it's an improvement! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted March 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Hey, it's up to 190 kB/s! And the torrent that said it would take over 24 hours is now clocking in at 90 minutes. (Still not great, but better!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Your lucky. My max is 150 kB/s because I live in the boonies and have only 1 choice on who to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Yoda, limit your uploading to about 20kb/s or methinks you'll be getting a call from your ISP... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted March 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Ah, thanks for the advice, Des! My new download speed topped out at 335 kB/s, which is round about what I'm used to with torrents. God, I can't believe I wasted so much time with the 30 kB/s rate.

The Joker's Groupie Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Okay I'm going to pull a Yoda on WFP. Ok I may or may not been looking for a certain Beatles musical that happened to be named Across the Universe. Can somebody give me links that I may or may not use.
