Ok, I am getting REALLY slow bitorrent speeds and I have been having this problem for awhile so I'll try to explain everything I am using and everything I tried to speed it up.
Client: uTorrent
Speeds: 10-15kB/s up/I can get my max up. But I tried limiting it.
Router: Linksys WRT54G
Actual Connection Speed: 3mbit/Sec down and 768 KBits/Sec up
Modem: uhh... Its a westell not sure of the model
ISP: Verizon
OS: Windows XP with service pack 2 (I have it so the firewall is off)
Ok, and uTorrent says in every download in the corner has a red circle saying "Not Connectible".
I am forwarding ports and have tried everything in the guide above and everything in this guide. And cannot seem to get a decent speed.
And I have even tried connecting directly through the modem and still slow speeds.
With every torrent there is plenty of seeders/peers.
Please help?

Ah! Nevermind! I solved it! Apparently my modem needed to be port forwarded too.

The portforward site only shows routers... no modems. But what I did was go into my modem and went to Configuration>Service Configuration and then click create new custom service and chose port forward. Then chose my ports and it got addded to the list and then I clicked activate.

well that's if some1 already set the password and username for your router but if you don't have one im not quite sure. Call up the company and ask them, they're sure to have the answer :)

ok thanks for your help and last question, when someone makes the password and username, it isnt for the computer, but for the router correct?

lol, that depends what their making it for. Your router has different username and pass then other folders and stuff. Im not really sure because i haven't played around with routers. Also it might not be your router, some isps block torrents and stuff:check http://www.azureuswiki.com/index.php/Bad_ISPs to see if yours might block

Check that your ip address at ipconfig/all is correct, it probably needs to be static: http://portforward.com/networking/staticip.htm Just pay attention to the part about the DNS servers and Default Gateway. Use a port over 10,000 and, if your client supports it, enable Protocol Encryption. Low speeds may just relate to the number of seeds and peers, too.

Could be your ISP blocks; check the bad isp list above or what is it, maybe someone knows? Make sure any torrents have more seeds than peers, public sites versus private sites, peers with less than you and therefore can't upload, keep any downloads to one at a time or you're just sharing your bandwidth between them, number of connections, etc.
