Sense the people on the utorrent forums are about as useful as a pack on 11yr olds on pokemon cards i figured id try here.
Using utorrent i for some reason cannot get incomming connections. I have port fowarded on the router do i have to do it on the modem as well? Its a dsl connection. The dsl modem is a ZyXel, WRT54g-TM(t-mobile edition. I fowarded port 23703 through my router. So what am i doing wrong. I get a decent upload (around 100-150kbs) but only a 1.1-10.5kbs download. i know for sure its not the torrent im using because after several tests on different torrents i get all the same issues. Anyway any help would rock.
Connection disabled? Sorry lost me there, i take it you also mean to disable UPnP?
Laos the encryption steps are kinda out of date and makes things a tad hard to find eaxctly to have on or off.
If i read it correctly you cannot select encryption in the newer versions.
Also i take it the IP that the router and modem ask for is the computer (the one im on now) IP or the Ip of the modem or the router?
so any ideas? Its killing me, i had comcast before (i moved it sucks) and never had this issue with blocked incommin connections. So what could have changed? Any windows (XP) setting i should be weary of?
I haven't used utorrent in a while, some option's may already be set in newer versions. At option's then preference's then connection and see; if they're not, uncheck randomize port and also UPnP. Even though it's dated, Protocol Encryption should be where that link show's. Could be you need a static ip address if that router is a change: http://www.portforward.com/networking/staticip.htm Even if your ISP isn't on that list, it could still throttle, what is it maybe someone know's? A green port check will show connection status. You can also try this download to check speed, 3.0 or 3.1 seemed to have plenty of seed's and few peer's: http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/
Based on that I'd say you're right. You can fine tune thing's with the proper upload setting, if you haven't, at option's>speed Guide>connection type but that's already excellent speed.
i been corresponding with utorrent forum and im still stuck.
Imma post what i have posted
After doing more searching im getting a tad more irritated.
I have done the glasnot test, i get green lights all the way across.
(port 10010)
-In our tests a TCP download achieved at least 400 Kbps while a BitTorrent download achieved at most 520 Kbps
-In our tests a TCP download achieved at least 1067 Kbps while a BitTorrent download achieved at most 1104 Kbps
(port 6882)
In our test, a TCP download on a BitTorrent port achieved at least 1100 Kbps while a TCP download on a non-BitTorrent port achieved at least 1067 Kbps
In our test, a TCP upload on a BitTorrent port achieved at least 419 Kbps while a TCP upload on a non-BitTorrent port achieved at least 400 Kbps
I saw a post about NOD32 causing issues so i figured i uninstall and try it. Still getting crap results.
I mean i have used TBP and Demonoid for a few years no with no traffic issues. I have a torrent with 6k seeds and i connect to about 50 of them off the bat and still getting speeds of 20-50kbps, that just shouldnt be.
Just for s and g's i fowarded AND triggered port 6882 and still getting crap speeds.
I have the option to open ports in the modem itself, which i did.
Trying deluge yielded no different results.
Now im on a network with My laptop, my inlaws pc, and my tower (which is perma-offline atm damn windows crash) so could the inlaws pc have anything to do with it?
Our network is set up as so

Then Hardwire to inlaws pc.
And im wireless.
Could the inlaws pc be having any impact on the connections?
Its killing me because i KNOW im missing some stupidly small detail.
Connection to 50 seed's on a public site may not guarantee good speed's and it doesn't mean much more on Demonoid lately. If Open Office showed good speed's, I doubt there are any outside issues. Could be your ISP started throttling and relaxes it at off peak time's, try overnight like 1:00 AM to 6:00 AM. What OS is that and is that a change? How about the wireless connection, is that new?
