Torrent Problems

Has anybody experienced something like this
recurring all the time?

I've forwarded my port correctly.. But every time I start
getting close to downloading at a reasonable speed, it just
suddenly drops back down to about 10kbps where it remains
for the majority of the time.

I've got my upload speed limited too, so it's not that. Any
ideas?

I have experienced random graphs with peaks followed by
declines; however none of these have been in relation to
torrents.

What OS are you using?

SP2? If so it is probably due to the OS imposed limit on
half open connections which throttles most forms of P2P
sharing. There is a 'fix' for this available on the
internet.

isp throttling?

your soho routing not being able to handle so many
concurrent connections?

memory buffers full on soho router?

i remember applying that when i was living elsewhere. it
worked perfectly there, sustained speeds and all, like.
nothing's changed since then.. I've been installing updates
but surely they wouldn't undo the work of that fix?

elusive - isp throttling not a possibility, i work there and
they don't throttle anyone unless they're just totally
taking the piss. As for my SOHO router.. Well there's two of
them (one simply acting as a switch), they're both corporate
3coms, top of the range SOHO shit, so i doubt it.

i have an idea, brb lol

thats utorrents fault.. its a bug or something but the
developers refuse to believe it is, thus it wont get fixed.

going back to an earlier version helped me, or changing
torrent client

yea, well, i was getting reasonable speeds on www, even on
speed tests, so i figured it'd be ok.

plus it'd take about 40 metres of cat5 to connect me to the
router.... but my friend's coming by in a few minutes with a
nice length of cable, so i'm sorted. thanks for the help
anyway.

at shit speeds, then i opened the same torrent in 1.5 and it
went fast as hell.

doesn't matter
bittorrent = shittons of concurrent connections
wireless is trash for that kind of work
