Thread: Someone please help....

Hey,

I have been using an airtel broadband connection for the last 6 years and during this time i havnt much to say about the ISP,but now i am using a 2mbps connection and i used to get around 240kbps average while using torrents and now i only get about 60-90kbps during the day and then 250+ kbps speed at night(ie from 11pm to about 7am).I contacted the airtel guy and he showed up checked my connection and said its working properly because im getting 250+kbps from direct downloads(ie downloads.cnet etc).Also im really confused because the upload speed of all my torrents is 100kbps throughout the day.

can somebody please tell me what is or wrong or how i can fix this...ive port forwarded my router too and nothing changes...

Use good torrents. Get ones with enough seeds and better seed to peer ratio. Use private trackers. They give better speed.

This may help

yeah ive been using torrents too for the last 6 years and i mostly download my torrents from private sites(private trackers)...and even if have a 1000 seeds and 500 leechers i have the same problem....

1. utorrent > Options > set up guide > Try setting your speed.

2. utorrent > Options > preferences > Connection > Enable UPnP port mapping

3. utorrent > Options > preferences > Connection > Enable NAT-PNP port mapping and check.

ive already done all of this and i have even changed my dns and port forwarded my router...nothing changes....

Set the upload speed to " unlimited " and check.

my upload was already set to unlimited...ive checked all my utorrent settings more that 5 times from yesterday..from various sources ..but nothing seems to change...but right now i am getting 200kbps...itll go after sometime though..i dont think its a problem with my computer or my utorrent settings,,because i use this connecton on 2 systems ..wifi on my laptop and a connected lan to another computer..i checked it on that computer too ..it was showing the same thing...any suggestions??,,,

1. You mean 200 KBps ?

512 Kbps = 64 KBps. Are you confused by this nomenclature ?

2. Try installing Vuze and check. Or may be some error on Airtel side.

3. Try reinstalling utorrent and check.

4. Disable firewall/antivirus and check.

5. If nothing works, try Bridge mode and check.

i am a final year BE CSE student and perfectly understand the nomenclature you are referring to,and wat is bridge mode??....the only thing im unclear about ...

Just wanted to confirm

Mention your modem - model and make

You can configure your modem in two modes.

Bridge :

You need to create a dialer to connect to internet. ID and password is store in this dialer and you need to click " connect " on the dialer.

PPPoE :

ID and password stored in the modem. You can connect to internet by switching ON your modem. Nothing to do with the computer. I presume you are in PPPoE mode. You can change it into bridge from your modem's menu page and change it to dialer mode. The advantage is that, all ports are open this mode.

This is just to check. If you switch to dialer mode, you won't be able to use two system simultaneously unless you configure one as server and another as client. Hope it is clear now.

Oh ok that made a lot of sense...its PPPoE...ie like u said my user information is stored in the modem...and i dont think ill be able to use a bridge mode...and myu modem is Beetel 450bx wifi b/g

1. Try tcp/ip optimizer from speedguide.net
2. Check Statistics/ADSL data. If mod mode is adsl2 +
3. Uncheck ADSL2+ box in modem dsl menu.
4. Check my sig link Wa 3002-g4 for modem/router settings.
5. Check speed at mybroadbandspeed.co.uk
and give the link here.

will def. check it out and get back to u...thanks
