Okay I saw the Bittorrent thread, but I want this to get noticed more.
I put lots of work into it.

Alright, here goes nothing, I hope someone who knows what they are doing reads this:

I have been scouring the internet for about 4 days now searching for anything that can speed up my Bittorrent download speed.

If Bittorrent is supposed to be the next-gen P2P software, then why the hell am I only getting 10 KBps!!! C'mon HTTP is faster!

Okay, well here is some information that might help, I am trying to be very specific.

*******************************************************************

OS: Windows XP SP2
Download Client: Bittornado T-0.3.12
ISP: Charter
Connection: Cable
Location: Wisconsin
Router Make/Model: Dlink DI-524 Revision A
Network Card: D-Link DWL-G510
Firewall Program: ZoneAlarm Pro 6.0.613.003
Anti-Virus: AVG Pro

*******************************************************************

My test results from http://www.bandwithplace.com/speedtest/

Speed

349.4 kilobits per second
Communications 349.4 kilobits per second
Storage 42.7 kilobytes per second
1MB file download 24 seconds
Subjective rating Not bad

*******************************************************************

The exact problem:

According to my research I should be getting a lot more than 0-30 KBps on my downloads.

*******************************************************************
The Steps I Have Taken:

- I have forwarded the ports on my router (6881-6886, 6969)
- I have triggered the ports on my router (6881-6886, 6969)
- I have configured my firewall for the program "btdownloadgui.exe" (aka Bittornado)
- I have configured my firewall for the general ports (6881-6886, 6969)
- I ran an NAT test at http://btfaq.com/natcheck.pl and passed
- I called my ISP and asked if they blocked or throttled any of the ports that I want to use...they said they didn't.
- I tried changing everything to port 4882 just in case, but there was no speed change.
- Now I have everything changed back to 6881-6886, 6969. (Eg. What it was before I called my ISP)


*******************************************************************

Here are some photos I have included to clarify anything:

These are my Bittornado settings

This is my setup for ipconfig

Here are the results of my NAT Test

The 'Applications Rules' for my router (This is port triggering as well)

The things I have enabled to be allowed in my router's firewall

These are the rules for the 'Virtual Server' of my router (Eg. The port forwarding function, I believe)

Here are the rules I made for ZoneAlarm (these are the rules I defined in Firewall->Expert)
http://img340.imageshack.us/my.php?image=zonealarmfirewallrules8ha.jpg

And last but not least the program rules I made for "btdownloadgui.exe"

Name: Mark Feltner
E-Mail: plugitinn@gmail.com
MSN: plug_it_inn19@hotmail.com
Also I am willing to talk on AIM, Yahoo Instant Messenger, etc (I got Trillian so its easy)

Please, please, please, someone solve this! It took me forever to compile all this stuff.

And to whoever solves it I will...like mail you a Mountain Dew can or something ( :D lol!) 15 year olds don't have too much money, hehe!

But c'mon PLEASE!!!!

Hello, nice post but...

You do not have a fast connection (394 kbps) therefore you will not have a fast download. In comparison my download speed is 9100 kbps (you see the HUGE difference).

As for the port forwarding, follow these steps
http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Dlink/DI-5...

Please go to dslreports.com and go to "speedtests" and post your max upload and download speeds.

I can then help you further.

Here are the results:

TCP/Web100 Network Diagnostic Tool v5.2.1e
DO NOT USE YOUR CONNECTION WHILE TEST IS RUNNING
click START to begin
Preparing Speedtest . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Done
running 10s outbound test (upload) . . . . . 122.41Kb/s
running 10s inbound test (download) . . . . . . 359.80kb/s

Your speed is 6.54 times faster than 56Kb dialup

Your PC is connected to a Cable/DSL modem

If this helps I did this test in Milwaukee, WI (it was the closest one, and it was hosted by my ISP)
Here is the link to the speedtest: http://speedtest.wi.charter.com/

OK, thanks for a quick response.

As you can see, your cable is not that fast, only 6x the speed of dialup therefore you can NEVER get higher than 25-30, and thats on a good day. Sorry that is the way it is.

I have usually 70-180 Kbps downlaods, and thats very slow considering i have a 9100 kbps (1150 KB/s) download rate.
