just a few days ago I was downloading something and it was good 60kb/s but now it won't go higher than 2-3 kb/s! even with torrents that have over 200 seeds.
I began to experience this problems out of the nowhere and it affected both Bittorrent and uTorrent.
What port you using and what does port check in utorrent show (don't check it while downloading), any router, is UPnP disabled, 200 seed's doesn't mean much if there are 1000 peer's, download and upload speed's set correctly although that shouldn't affect anything now? Use Protocol Encryption: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/395674 check here for your ISP too: http://www.azureuswiki.com/index.php/Bad_ISPs
ok I'm a little beetter because I re insalled uTorrent thus restoring the defaults, with a little tweaks I did, but the thinng is that I am dowloading tw right now: one that is 1.54 Gig (Iron Maiden discography) that is 53kB/s (59 if alone) and another that is 325MB that is 5.6 kB/s (10 if alone >_>).
I'm using port 35778, UPnP is enabled, Protocol Encryption is enabled (it really helped rising frm 30 kB/s to 50), and my ISP just limits connection during certain times of the day (everything else says no).
Try with UPnP off,options>preferences>connection in utorrent, usually better but can make thing's worse sometime's so keep an eye on it, try it for awhile though to see. It doesn't matter how many seed's you're connected to, those 267 are sharing with 649 plus seed's on public site's more than likely have their upload set way down. Probably the peer's giving you the bulk of your data and you may have more than some of them. Just limit your download's to 1 or 2 and download at off peak time's like overnight.
