Ok, Here's my problem: I am a member of two private torrent sites, Bitsoup & Torrentleech. I can download at great speeds on both sites especially when there are many seeders and few leechers. But when it comes to uploading, on Bitsoup I can seed up to 32kB/s even when there are only a few leechers connected to me. But on Torretleech, I download a file at good speeds, but it doesn't seed much, around 0.1kB/s and when it's done it drops to completely 0kB/s and stays there, even though I'm still connected to a lot of peers.
I'm using Utorrent.
My max download is 980kB/s and my max upload is 44kB/s.
I capped my upload in Utorrent to 32kB/s and my global max no. of connections is 100.
UPnP is off, I have forwarded my ports, and Utorrent stays it's open.
Peer Exchange is clicked and Protocol Encryption is enabled with legacy connections allowed.
DHT is Off.
The status light is green.
My firewall is Kerio and it is not blocking it.
I'm using PeerGuardian, it is not blocking it.
I have a WRT54G v5 router.
I use Comcast High Speed Internet.
This has only starting happening over the last week, and before that my upload on Torrentleeh was fine.
At first I thought Comcast was blocking my upload, but when I connected my computer directly to my modem and started seeding, it was back to its normal 32kB/s on Torrentleech.
So it has to be my router, but why does it only block Torrentleech uploads and not any thing else?
Help me out please!
It could be as simple as that you're trying to seed torrents which have too few leechers!
Also, enable torrent header encryption, as it might be your ISP--but I doubt it because they're letting you d/l.
If you're seeding torrents w/ leechers, then either the winblows firewall or kerio isn't configured for 2 way transporting of data---it's only allowing incoming. This is a normal feature of firewalls...try disabling both firewalls totally and seeing if you can seed--if you can, you foudn the problem.
Yeah, I think the problem is I'm trying to seed torrents with too few leechers and a whole lot of seeders. Torrentleech has a lot of high speed uploaders, way faster then me. So with this combination of fast uploaders and few leechers, that's why I could not get through.
I found this out by downloading and then seeding a torrent on Torrentleech with more leechers than seeders, and my upload shot up at one point to 40kB/s, past my set limit of 32kB/s! So that's the trick!!
By the way, header encrytion was already enabled as on Utorrent it's called protocol encryption and I don't have the windows firwall running because I have Kerio up and running (kerio was not blocking my u/l), and I thought you are only suppose to have one firewall installed and running at once. Am I wrong?
