Hey guys,

I have uTorrent and have been getting really slow download speeds. I tried portforwarding but that is still not helping. Can someone help?

Sincerely,

Alex

might be what you're downloading. you dont always get the speed you wanted.

 

[amh38]

The problem is that I have tried download all different things and they all ussually stay under 5 or 6 kbps. That is so slow! Please help!

 

[kof2000]

make sure you isp didnt block p2p ports.

This subject is not tolerated here. (Utorrents not download speeds)

Utorrent is a legal P2P BitTorrent downloader. It can be used for illegal things but so can guns, knives, computers without P2p software, etc.

this guide will help, I used it.

most cable internet providers in the US have throttled p2p connections. it used to be that downloads were limited on the server (uploader) side, but there are now cheap internet services that will upload quickly, so internet connections started getting saturated quickly. because many houses share a single cable internet line, people started complaining of slow connections, which was attributed to p2p downloading, thus: p2p throttling.

i guess i should have asked this first: what kind of internet do you have?

before they said that's no excuse to keep this open. unless he tells us whats he's downloading and prove it we can only suspect it of being illegal.

I've heard the current versions are bad.

That may slow you down.



Try going back to 1.6 if possible.

I'm no Mod so I have no power over this forum but I've seen already more than a hundred subjects asking pretty much the same thing... So why can't you find your answers on them? Because they have been all closed and some members got banned for that.

P2p software is not illegal. Hell it's not even unmoral. There is nothing wrong with running this type of software, A sharing tool, and asking for help. If you seriously think everyone who uses this type of program is doing so for illegal ends then you're accusing me of it, and probably a whole lotta other people on this forum also.

I never said everyone of them use it for illegal reasons. Don't make me say things I did not say. I said that since most of the people who use them do it illegally, this is subject we do not talk about in here.

PS: I never said P2P softwares were illegal...

Exactly, Illegal p2p is illegal p2p. This isn't.

If this thread needed locking then it would have been locked by now.

don't mean to quote myself but a mod said this, not me. i think if a mod said it it goes without saying.

In Utorrent, is there a way to watch or listen to something before the download has finished, sort of like streaming it?

 

[Burgerbob]

There is in Azereus with certain media. I use Azereus for all my torrent stuff, I love the new Vuze setup.

where did a mod say that he needs to prove he isnt downloading illegal things before he can ask a question?
