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.

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.
