If any1 can help, currently using Utorrent for my download needs but cannot get decent enough speeds out of it.

I currently get sustained speeds of roughly 40kb but this can go up to 100kb or down to 1kb. And when i do ever get 100kb speed it's never for very long. This is quite poor as i've heard other peep get sppeds of 300kb sustained

I have read all about opening ports and have done this sucessfully as i now have the green light on but still getting same speeds.

My setup is on a WAN which is connected to a desktop PC downstaires on sky internet with a Netgear D34gt....

Im using Mcafee software, uTORRENT VERSION 1.7.5 and need faster conection.

PLEASE HELP

If upload is limited to 5kBs, then uTorrent should be limiting download to 30kBs. uTorrent FAQ: Download Limited.

To properly set up uTorrent, check out Options>Speed Guide.
It has a link to speed test and pulldown menu of upload speeds that will auto-adjust your uTorrent settings to get the best speeds.

Sky will throttle p2p traffic.Make sure you enable protocol encryption in utorrents settings.I would limit your upload speed in utorrent to about 18kbs.
