No matter what I cannot download torrents fast.. I have the right ports forwarded to 192.168.1.1, I have the ports added to windows 7 firewall. UPnP enabled(also tried disabled).. 2231 seeders, and I can only connect to 5 of them... And with MU i can get 2mb/s so its not my connection.. Can anyone help?
I've used Vuze, ABC and Utorrent each having the same results. I get 25.6 kbs on a torrent with 2231 seeders, while my friend with a worse connection gets 1+mbs.
Port 56556(tried others in this range). I've tried enabling, forcing protocol encrypt. max download is set to unlimited..
Plus what make you think you need to forward your port???
Is it blocked?
What kind of connection do you have, do you have a fast modem or junk rented from the ISP, how fast is your network and adaptor. How may peers did that 2231 job have? How may peers were you connected to? How fast is your speed test?
I do think something is wrong is your port being blocked?

As far as I know I cannot use my own modem. But I have a 40mb down and 2 up connection. I have no problems regularly downloading files at 1-2mb/s off of megaupload.
I've pretty much given up on torrents. I've followed 5 guides to make utorrent faster and nothing works, and utorrent confirms that myport forwarding is set up correctly.
If your port is blocked the port icon will not be green (I think, I use a simelar app but not exactly the same). Green = good, yellow partially blocked and red blocked.
You might be throttled as well. That is different than blocked. Your ISP may have the ability to throttle you. That you can't get around. Try one more time on the weekend. Often the ISPs do not throttle then. What country and ISP apply to you? That ight shed some light on your problem.
Well I think torrents are on their way out. The media mafia is winning. Try new groups ect.

Yeah I use a forum that provides links to downloads hosted via megaupload.. and I get like I said around 2mb/s... So it's possible that my ISP will throttle torrents but not other downloads?
I live in America, and have Time Warner Cable Road Runner. My buddy who lives across town with the same isp(except he has Business Class, and I have the step below that.. theres 3 steps below me) doesn't have any problems whatsoever with torrents.
Mine can't yet. They can throttle downloads much more than surfing though, so they are learning to be selective. Mine is not very anti torrent. They all monitor torrent traffic.
You have the second most nasty large ISP in the states. Mine used to be the worst by far but it cost them business. Cox and TW have less competition. Comcast is in most of the major cities in the US and Verizon wants in to the high profit regions. TW is in many smaller cities. Now if you keep to off hrs and keep under 200g but really 100g per month they leave you alone. They start to throttle over 100g/mon and/or 30g in a weekend. I have been doing this for a while so I have trouble finding 30g for a weekend.
